Key Features
Extended Shaft Length: Specifically designed for patients where a standard length (1.5 cm – 3.0 cm) would be too short. The 5.0 cm length prevents the external base from being pulled too tight against the skin, which can cause "buried bumper syndrome."
Low-Profile Design: Despite the long internal shaft, the external "button" remains flush against the skin once seated, offering a discreet profile under clothing compared to standard-length tubes.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A built-in valve at the proximal end prevents the backflow of gastric contents when the extension set is disconnected.
SECUR-LOK* Locking System: Ensures that extension sets are securely connected with a simple "plug and turn" motion, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection during feeds.
Tapered and Recessed Tip: The distal tip is tapered for easier insertion. When the balloon is inflated, the tip is recessed into the silicone "cushion" to prevent the plastic from irritating the stomach wall.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line that is clearly visible under X-ray, providing a non-invasive way for medical professionals to confirm proper placement.
