Description
Technical Specifications
French Size: 12 Fr
Stoma Length: 0.8 cm (the distance between the external base and the balloon)
Balloon Fill Volume: 3 mL (recommended); 5 mL (maximum)
Material: Medical-grade silicone
Safety: Latex-free and DEHP-free
Key Features
Ultra-Shallow Fit: Specifically engineered for the smallest patients (infants/neonates) where a 1.0 cm tube would be too long and cause "pistoning" or leaking.
Low-Profile Design: The external button sits flush against the skin, making it easier to manage in diapers or under tight infant clothing while reducing the risk of the tube being pulled.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A critical safety mechanism that automatically closes the feeding port when the extension set is removed, preventing stomach contents from leaking.
SECUR-LOK* Connection: Uses a "key" rotation to lock extension sets into place, ensuring the tube remains connected during active movement or overnight feeding.
Tapered and Recessed Tip: The tube tip is tapered for smooth insertion and sits inside the "cushion" of the inflated balloon to prevent it from touching the sensitive stomach lining.
Radiopaque Stripe: Allows for X-ray visibility to confirm that the tube is correctly seated in the stomach without requiring contrast dye.
