Low Profile Gastrostomy Tube Kit MIC 18 Fr. Silicone Sterile, 0110-18

$80.95

Description

Bolus-Specific Design: Features a single, wide-bore feeding port at the top. This design is streamlined for patients who primarily receive feedings via a catheter-tip syringe or gravity bag, as it lacks the bulky side-ports of multi-port tubes.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: Includes a sliding, ventilated disk that holds the tube securely at skin level. The ventilation helps minimize moisture buildup and reduces the risk of skin maceration around the stoma.
Internal Retention Balloon: A durable silicone balloon inside the stomach keeps the tube in place. Silicone is utilized for its longevity and biocompatibility compared to latex.
Depth Markings: The tube is printed with centimeter increments. This allows caregivers to monitor the tube’s position daily to ensure it hasn't migrated in or out of the stoma tract.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line that is visible under X-ray, providing a non-invasive way for medical professionals to confirm that the tube is correctly positioned within the stomach.
Tapered Distal Tip: The end of the tube is tapered to facilitate a smoother insertion process and is recessed when the balloon is inflated to prevent irritation of the gastric mucosa.
