Key Features
Medical-Grade Silicone: The entire tube is constructed from high-clarity silicone, which is biocompatible, durable, and flexible, ensuring patient comfort and easy visualization of the flow of nutrients.
ENFit Connector: Equipped with the ISO 80369-3 compliant safety connector. This threaded locking system prevents accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems like IV or respiratory lines.
Internal Retention Balloon: Features a silicone internal balloon that holds the tube securely in the jejunum. This balloon-style retention is less traumatic during insertion and removal compared to "mushroom" or non-balloon style tubes.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster: Includes a patented retention ring that holds the tube at the skin surface. Its ventilated design allows for air circulation around the stoma, promoting skin health and reducing moisture buildup.
Trimmable Distal Tip: The tube has a 51 cm distal length that is trimmable, allowing the clinician to tailor the depth of the tube within the jejunum to fit the patient's specific anatomy.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in radiopaque stripe runs the length of the tube to facilitate accurate placement and position verification via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
