Description

This low-profile "button" device is designed for patients with an exceptionally deep stoma tract or a very thick abdominal wall. While the 14 French diameter is relatively slender, the 4.5 cm length is one of the longest available for this size, ensuring the device fits securely without being too tight against the skin.


Key Features

  • Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin to be discrete under clothing. This design reduces the risk of accidental "pull-outs" and minimizes the skin irritation often associated with traditional long tubes.

  • ENFit Safety Connectors: Features the international standard ENFit system, specifically 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 ensures the device is soft, flexible, and durable for long-term use.

  • Recessed Distal Tip: At the end of the balloon, the tube tip is recessed to minimize irritation to the gastric mucosa (stomach lining).

  • Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents stomach contents from leaking out through the tube when the extension set is not connected.

  • Radiopaque Stripe: Features a barium sulfate stripe built into the silicone for clear visualization under X-ray to verify correct placement.
