Key Features
16 French Mid-Bore Diameter: A common size for pediatric patients or smaller adults. The polyurethane construction allows for a larger internal lumen compared to silicone tubes of the same size, maximizing flow rates.
Ring Retention Bumper: Features a circular "ring" style internal bumper. This design provides high-security internal fixation, making it significantly more difficult to accidentally displace compared to balloon or conical-style bumpers.
PUSH / Over-the-Wire Placement: Designed for the "Push" technique. A guidewire is established into the stomach, and the PEG tube is then pushed over that wire from the outside into position, typically under endoscopic guidance.
Non-Traction Removable: Because the Ring Bumper is designed for maximum retention, it is not collapsible by traction. Removal typically requires a secondary endoscopic procedure where the internal bumper is cut or retrieved via a snare.
ENFit® Safety Connector: Includes the purple ISO-standard ENFit® adapter to ensure the tube is only compatible with enteral feeding sets, eliminating the risk of accidental IV connection.
Biocompatible Polyurethane: Stronger and more durable than silicone, this material resists bacterial colonization and degradation from gastric acid, often leading to a longer functional life for the tube.
