Description
Technical Specifications
French Size: 12 Fr
Stoma Length: 1.7 cm
Balloon Volume: 3 mL (recommended); 5 mL (maximum)
Material: 100% Medical-grade silicone
Compatibility: Designed for use with MIC-KEY* extension sets
Key Features
Minimalist External Base: The "button" sits flush against the skin. At 1.7 cm, this provides a very compact fit for shallow stoma tracts to prevent the tube from sliding back and forth (pistoning).
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A critical safety feature that keeps stomach contents inside the body when the feeding port is open and the extension set is disconnected.
SECUR-LOK* Connection: This patented system requires the extension set to be inserted and turned to lock, preventing accidental detachment during feeds.
Radiopaque Stripe: The entire length of the tube includes a stripe that shows up on X-rays for non-invasive placement verification.
Tapered and Recessed Tip: The distal tip is tapered for easier insertion and is designed to stay recessed within the inflated balloon to avoid rubbing against the stomach lining.
Medical-Grade Silicone: The soft, flexible material is designed to be comfortable against the skin and durable enough for long-term use.
