Low profile G/J or Dangler??

Hii! I’m getting a G/J tube conversion soon and I am stuck in between a dangler or low profile. So if you have a low profile please let me know your experience with it. The Pros and Cons, brownie points if you are also a wheelchair user (as I’m concerned about pressure and it indenting my skin). Thanks!!

Hi guys I’m a first time surgical tubie - my tube is post pyloric and I’m severely immunocompromised I was told to use sterile water by my provider and nurses but my pharmacy (infusion/enteral supplies) doesn’t provide sterile water. What do you guys use/where do you get it?
