How can I secure the g-tube extension to the tubing?

[anonymous]

I've heard of people using some type of connector. I use tape and it messes up my extension sets.
Possibly a "Stretch-Lok" connector I've read about.
Also, where can I get one?

Thanks,
Brian

Not sure what you mean....what type of g-tube do you have?

I just found this online this week so we haven't tried it yet, but it looks great. We always tape the tube to the connector, but the pieces get so sticky. My kids have the bard button (flatter than the mic-key), and the connectors don't twist in to the button, they just pop in. Very often they pop out too- and then a huge mess!

I have a mic-key and I haven't had trouble keeping the connector in...I just twist it in reallly tight tape the tube to my stomach and let it go for the night.
