Key Features
Skin-Level Design: The external "button" sits flush against the abdomen, offering a discreet profile that is easy to hide under clothing and less likely to be pulled out by movement.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A built-in valve prevents the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is not connected, keeping the patient clean and dry.
SECUR-LOK* Connection: Employs a specific locking mechanism for extension sets to ensure they stay securely attached during feeding or medication delivery.
Tapered Distal Tip: The end of the tube is tapered to allow for easier insertion into the stoma and to minimize tissue trauma.
Recessed Tip: Designed so that when the balloon is inflated, the tip of the tube does not protrude excessively, preventing irritation of the stomach wall.
Radiopaque Stripe: Contains a line visible on X-rays to assist healthcare providers in confirming proper placement without needing a contrast dye.
