Description
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: The external bolster sits flush against the skin, offering a discrete profile under clothes and reducing the risk of accidental displacement (pull-outs) by active patients.
ENFit Safety Connectors: Uses the international standard ENFit system, designed to prevent accidental misconnections between enteral feeding sets and non-enteral medical devices (like IV lines).
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction provides durability while remaining soft and flexible against the stoma site.
Recessed Distal Tip: At the end of the balloon, the tube tip is recessed to minimize irritation to the stomach lining (gastric mucosa).
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents stomach contents from leaking out through the tube when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a barium sulfate stripe built into the silicone for clear visualization under X-ray to verify correct placement.
