Description
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, minimizing the risk of accidental displacement or snagging on clothing, which is a common issue with traditional "long" tubes.
Medical-Grade Silicone: The entire device is constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for patient comfort and durability.
Internal Retention Balloon: A silicone balloon (7–10 mL) holds the tube securely within the jejunum, providing a reliable internal seal.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Specifically designed for the jejunal environment, the distal tip is weighted with tungsten to help maintain the tube's position within the small bowel.
Anti-Reflux Valve: Located inside the proximal "button" head, this valve prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Placement Verification: Features a radiopaque stripe and tip for clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy to ensure and monitor proper placement.
