Description
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it highly discrete and difficult for active children to accidentally pull or snag.
ENFit Safety Connector: Uses the purple threaded ENFit system to ensure it only connects to enteral syringes and feeding sets, preventing life-threatening misconnections with IV lines.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone is used for both the tube and the internal retention balloon to ensure softness and durability.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve inside the button prevents stomach contents from leaking out when the extension set is not attached.
Tapered Distal Tip: Specifically designed for a smoother and more comfortable insertion during tube changes.
Radiopaque Stripe: A barium sulfate stripe is embedded in the silicone for clear visualization under X-ray to confirm placement.
