G-Tube Pads - Choosing A Thickness

3/2/2016

Hi Team Russcher fans!  

One of the most common questions we get in our shop is "How do I pick a g-tube pad thickness?"  

When making your pad selection, you'll want to pay attention to the space between the button and stoma, and the desired absorbency.

​Space Between the Button and Stoma


This is probably the most important thing to consider when choosing a pad thickness.  To help you decide you can use split gauze (2x2's) to help you measure.

Our THIN G-tube pads are made of two layers of fabric - a cotton print "topper" and a layer of soft flannel, or in some cases two layers of print flannel (no cotton topper).  THIN pads are comparable to one layer of split gauze.

Our THICK G-tube pads consist of three layers of fabric - a cotton topper and two layers of flannel, or three layers of print flannel with no topper.  THICK pads are comparable to two layers of split gauze.

Our EMBROIDERED circle g-tube pads are available in XTRA THICK!  These pads have a cotton topper, two layers of flannel and one layer of fleece.  They are comparable to three layers of gauze.

​Desired Absorbency


The second thing to consider when choosing a pad thickness is your desired absorbency.  Like adding layers of split gauze, the added layers of flannel in our THICK and XTRA THICK G-Tube Pads increase the absorbency of the pads.

We hope this quick comparison helps answer your G-Tube pad questions. 

Thank you for stopping by!
