PiQuu pads are light, soft, and rather THIN. Perfect for low-profile gastrostomy (button, MIC-KEY etc.) or catheters.
Bamboo pads are max. 3-4 mm in the thickest place (edges and stoma area),
If you prefer THICKER, please let me know! I can make them double layered for you!

If you prefer pads with NO SEAM where it sits on the stoma, no problem, just let me know!

Do you need bigger/smaller pads? Just tell!

ANY MODIFICATION to your needs is possible!

  • Designed to take place of the medical gauze and avoid the medical tape that causes skin irritation
  • They have no frayed edges, which may prevent irritation
  • 2 ply rings to absorb moisture from one's g-tube
  • The upper, outer layer is made of a soft cotton
  • They come with a plastic opening snap to open and place around the feeding tube

The layer adjacent to the body is
the best premium BAMBOO VELOUR. It is breathable and an excellent absorber. High-quality fibres which are naturally antibacterial, hypoallergenic, breathable and wicks moisture away. Perfect if you prefer slightly thicker pads (they are ~ 3, max. 4 mm thick).


 Many parents and doctors feel that they help reduce and prevent granulation tissue

Please PM me BEFORE buying.

I have been doing my best to complete the orders as soon as possible, but please note that pads are made to order, and the process takes approx. 5-7 business days. That is the amount of time I need to make the pads for you. If it's an issue, please let me know.
  • This is a handmade item so exact size, shape, and slit length, snap/final seam colours, and pattern placement may vary
  • Due to various factors, it is almost impossible to represent plain colours exactly. Use the images only as a guide.
  • Pads are made to order, so there is an option to ask me for specific patterns, and I'm always happy to fulfil these requests. Otherwise, I just choose colours and patterns randomly but always with care about the patterns and a colours' variation.

  • I made pads for STANDARD-SIZED tubes. If it's possible, please inbox me after placing the order what is the size of your feeding tube. This is the number on the side of the tube. It will help me to make perfectly fitted pads for you. Otherwise, I don't take responsibility for the wrong fitting.

WASHING INSTRUCTION:

!! Please wash your new pads prior to the first use !!

*Pads can be machine washed at 30*C in a netting bag with similar colours. Do not use fabric conditioner or fabric softener. They often reduce the absorbency of the treated fabric
*Tumble drying using a machine dryer up to a medium setting
*Pads may require briefly ironing after drying
- fleece or microsuede (layer adjacent to the body) at a low setting (one dot or 110*C / 200F)
- cotton and bamboo up to two dots (a medium temperature 150*C / 300f)
This can be avoided by allowing them to air dry flat
*Storing in a clean, dry place once thoroughly dry. Please use under medical supervision.

Unfortunately, due to the hygiene nature of the product, I cannot accept return or exchange.
