CORFLO* PEG Fixation Device Base and Cover for 16 Fr, RA-0016
Key Features of the RA-0016
Right-Angle Low Profile: The device allows the tube to exit the stoma and immediately bend at a 90-degree angle. This keeps the tube flat against the abdomen, making it significantly less bulky under clothing and reducing the "snag" risk.
Dual-Component Locking System:
The Base: Features a wide surface area to distribute pressure evenly across the skin, preventing the tube from migrating inward.
The Cover: Snaps securely onto the base. This mechanical lock ensures the tube cannot slide in or out (pistoning), which is the leading cause of stoma irritation and enlarged tracts.
Ventilated Foam Backing: The underside of the base is equipped with a medical-grade foam pad. This provides a soft interface against the skin and allows for minor airflow, helping to keep the stoma site dry and reducing the risk of skin maceration.
"Click-to-Confirm" Security: The cover is designed to provide an audible or tactile "click" when closed. This gives caregivers and patients confidence that the tube is locked without over-tightening.
Polyurethane-Safe Channel: Unlike generic clamps or tape, the internal channel of the RA-0016 is precision-molded for 16 Fr tubing. It holds the tube firmly enough to prevent sliding but gently enough to avoid "crimping" the polyurethane material.
