Description
Key Features
Standard-Length Design: This is a traditional "long tube" that remains external to the body. It is often used for initial placements or for patients who find a longer tube easier to handle for self-care.
Low Volume (LV) Balloon: The retention balloon is designed for a smaller fill capacity. This is ideal for patients with a smaller stomach or those who experience discomfort or "fullness" with standard-sized balloons.
ENFit Safety Connector: Equipped with the purple ENFit connector to ensure a secure, leak-free connection and prevent accidental misconnection with IV lines or other medical devices.
Recessed Distal Tip: The tip of the tube is designed to sit flush with the end of the balloon when inflated. This prevents the tip from poking or irritating the stomach lining (gastric mucosa).
SECUR-LOK External Bolster: A sliding, ventilated retention ring that secures the tube against the skin while allowing air to circulate, which helps maintain stoma health.
