Description
This is one of the most widely used low-profile gastrostomy tubes in the world. It is designed for patients who require long-term enteral nutrition but want a "button" style tube that sits flush against the skin, offering more discretion and mobility than a standard "long" G-tube.
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush at the skin level (stoma), making it easy to conceal under clothing and reducing the risk of the tube being accidentally pulled out by the patient.
ENFit Safety Connector: The "E2" in the part number indicates the presence of the ENFit connector. This ISO-standard safety design prevents accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems like IV lines.
High-Grade Medical Silicone: Constructed from soft, biocompatible silicone for patient comfort and longevity.
Inflatable Internal Retention Balloon: Uses a 5 mL balloon to hold the tube securely in place inside the stomach. This allows for easy insertion and replacement at the bedside or at home by a trained caregiver.
Tapered Distal Tip: Designed for atraumatic insertion and to reduce irritation to the gastric mucosa.
Recessed Distal Tip: Helps prevent the tube from irritating the opposite wall of the stomach.
