Key Features
Low-Profile "Button" Design: The external bolster sits flush against the skin. This "button" style is highly preferred by active patients because it is discreet under clothing and significantly reduces the risk of the tube being accidentally snagged or pulled out.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve is located inside the head of the button. This prevents stomach contents from leaking out onto the skin or clothing when the extension set is disconnected.
High-Clarity Silicone: Constructed from medical-grade silicone that remains flexible and soft, increasing patient comfort and extending the life of the device within the stoma tract.
Recessed Distal Tip: At the recommended 7–10 ml fill volume, the distal tip is recessed within the balloon. This protects the gastric mucosa (stomach lining) from being "poked" or irritated by the plastic tip.
Radiopaque Stripe: Includes a high-visibility line for quick verification of the tube’s position using X-ray or fluoroscopy.
