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.
