Description
This is the longest standard stoma length available for the 14 French diameter. It is designed for patients with an exceptionally deep stoma tract or a very thick abdominal wall. Even though the 14 French diameter is slender (often used for pediatric or very lean adult patients), the 5.0 cm length provides the necessary reach to ensure the external bolster sits comfortably on the skin without causing pressure necrosis.
Key Features
Maximum Stoma Depth: Specifically designed for a 5.0 cm stoma tract, preventing "buried bumper syndrome" and skin breakdown in patients with more tissue between the skin and the stomach.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin to be discrete under clothing, reducing the "lever effect" and accidental displacement common with traditional long tubes.
ENFit Safety Connectors: Features the international standard ENFit system to prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral delivery systems (like IV lines).
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone ensures the device is soft, flexible, and durable for long-term enteral support.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is not connected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Includes a barium sulfate stripe for clear visualization under X-ray to confirm the tube's position.
