Description
Key Features
18 French Diameter: A larger lumen size that allows for high flow rates of thick formulas and minimizes the risk of tube occlusion (clogging) from crushed medications.
Standard-Length Design: This is a traditional "long tube" where the length is adjustable at the skin level using the external bolster. This makes it a versatile option for patients whose abdominal thickness may fluctuate.
ENFit Safety Connector: Features the purple ENFit port, ensuring it is compatible with standard enteral syringes and pump sets while preventing accidental connections to non-enteral systems.
Standard Retention Balloon: Designed for a larger fill capacity than the LV series, providing a broader surface area for internal anchoring and reducing the risk of accidental tube migration.
Recessed Distal Tip: The tip of the tube is recessed within the balloon profile to prevent the silicone tip from irritating the sensitive stomach lining.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster: A ventilated ring that sits against the skin to hold the tube in place, designed specifically to reduce moisture buildup at the stoma site.
