Key Features
ENFit Safety Connector: The proximal hub features an ENFit threaded connection. This ensures that only enteral-specific syringes and extension sets can be attached, significantly reducing the risk of accidental tubing misconnections.
Intestinal-Friendly Design: Because the jejunum (small intestine) has a smaller diameter and thinner walls than the stomach, this tube features a small 2–3 ml balloon. This prevents the "balloon-induced" bowel obstructions that can occur with larger gastric balloons.
Low-Profile "Button" Style: The device sits flush against the skin. This is vital for jejunal sites, as the small intestine is more sensitive to "tugging" and tension than the stomach.
Atraumatic Distal Tip: The tip is designed to be smooth and tapered to minimize irritation of the intestinal mucosa as the bowel moves via peristalsis.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve in the hub prevents the backflow of intestinal fluids when the extension set is disconnected.
