Key Features
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it less likely to snag on clothing or be accidentally pulled. This is ideal for active patients or children.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A proximal valve prevents the leakage of stomach acid or formula when the extension set is disconnected.
SECUR-LOK* Connection: A "lock-and-key" style mechanism that ensures the extension sets stay firmly attached during feeding.
Tapered Distal Tip: The tip is tapered for easier insertion and is recessed when the balloon is properly inflated to prevent irritation to the stomach lining.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line that allows for easy visibility under X-ray to confirm placement.
Ventilated External Base: Designed to allow air to circulate around the stoma site, helping to maintain skin integrity and reduce moisture buildup.
