Description
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Unlike traditional "long" tubes, this device sits flush against the skin. This improves patient body image, increases comfort, and significantly reduces the risk of the tube being snagged or accidentally pulled out.
Medical-Grade Silicone: The entire tube and button are made of high-clarity, biocompatible silicone, which is soft, durable, and minimizes tissue irritation.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: To help the tube remain in the proper position within the small bowel and prevent it from migrating back into the stomach, the distal end is weighted with tungsten.
Internal Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone balloon (7–10 mL) provides secure internal retention. It is more comfortable for the patient during insertion and removal than non-balloon devices.
Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve located inside the button prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is not attached.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in stripe allows for clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy to verify that the tube is correctly placed in the jejunum.
