Key Features
High-Flow Bolus Port: Specifically designed for bolus feeding (delivery of formula via syringe in a short timeframe). The large internal diameter minimizes clogging and allows for easier administration of thicker formulas or medications.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: This is a sliding disk on the outside of the tube. It allows you to secure the tube at skin level to prevent it from sliding into the stomach, while its ventilated design lets the skin "breathe."
Inflatable Internal Balloon: A durable silicone balloon inside the stomach holds the tube in place. Because it is silicone, it is less likely to degrade over time than latex alternatives.
Centimeter Markings: The tube is printed with clear depth markings. This allows caregivers to quickly see if the tube has migrated further into or out of the stoma.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a built-in line that shows up on X-rays, making it easy for medical professionals to confirm the tube is seated correctly in the stomach.
Tapered Distal Tip: Designed for atraumatic (painless) insertion and to prevent irritation of the stomach lining once inside.
