$80.95

Description

French Size: 16 Fr (Outer Diameter)
Stoma Length: Standard (Long tube)
Balloon Volume: 3 mL – 5 mL (This is the "Low Volume" distinction; larger sizes typically use 7–10 mL).
Material: 100% Medical-grade silicone
Connector: Catheter-tip (Non-ENFit)

Low-Volume (LV) Balloon: Specifically designed for smaller gastric capacities, ensuring the balloon takes up less space inside the stomach while still providing secure retention.
Single Bolus Port: Features a single, wide-bore opening at the top. This model does not have a side medication port, making it a streamlined choice for patients who primarily receive bolus feeds via a catheter-tip syringe.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: A sliding, ventilated disk that secures the tube at the skin level. The ventilated design allows air to reach the stoma, which helps prevent moisture buildup and skin irritation.
Centimeter Markings: The tube is marked with depth increments along its shaft, allowing for daily visual checks to ensure the tube has not moved or migrated.
Recessed Distal Tip: When the balloon is inflated to the recommended volume, the tip of the tube is shielded by the balloon. This prevents the plastic tip from irritating or eroding the stomach wall.
Radiopaque Stripe: A full-length stripe is embedded in the silicone, making the tube clearly visible under X-ray for placement verification.
