Description
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more discrete and comfortable than traditional long tubes. This reduces the risk of accidental "pull-outs" or snagging on clothing.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for durability and patient comfort.
Internal Retention Balloon: A silicone balloon (7–10 mL) holds the device securely in the jejunum, providing a reliable internal seal.
Tapered Distal Tip: Designed for easier insertion and advancement into the small bowel.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted with tungsten to help maintain the tube's position within the jejunum and prevent migration.
Anti-Reflux Valve: Located in the proximal head of the device, it prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a built-in stripe for clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to verify proper placement.
