Trans-abdominal intra-gastric tube

A device comprising:

• a tube having a first end and a second end;
• a stopper coupled to a surface of the tube adjacent to the second end of the tube, wherein the stopper extends radially from the surface of the tube;
• a first rib coupled to the surface of the tube, wherein the first rib includes a first plurality of through-holes;
• a second rib coupled to the surface of the tube, wherein the second rib includes a second plurality of through-holes, wherein the first rib and the second rib are positioned opposite one another on the surface of the tube between the first end of the tube and the stopper, wherein the first rib and the second rib are configured to be positioned perpendicular to a skin of a patient, and wherein the first plurality of through-holes and the second plurality of through-holes correspond to a plurality of depths of the tube through the skin of the patient;
• a first component having a first end and a second end, the first component including a first depression on a mating face of the first component;
• and
• a second component having a first end and a second end, the second component including a second depression on a mating face of the second component,
• wherein the first depression and the second depression are configured to be positioned around the surface of the tube such that the mating face of the first component contacts the mating face of the second component, and
• wherein the first rib and the second rib of the device are configured to be pinched between the mating face of the first component and the mating face of the second component.
