Description

Technical Specifications

  • French Size: 16 Fr (Outer diameter)

  • Stoma Length: 0.8 cm (The shortest shaft length for this diameter)

  • Balloon Fill Volume: 5 mL (Recommended/Maximum for 16 Fr models)

  • Material: 100% Medical-grade silicone

  • Connection Type: SECUR-LOK* (Non-ENFit/Catheter-tip style)


Key Features

  • Minimalist Low-Profile Design: The external button sits flush against the skin, providing a discreet solution that is easy to hide under clothing or diapers and reduces the risk of the tube being snagged or pulled.

  • Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve located at the top of the feeding port prevents stomach acid or formula from leaking when the extension set is not attached.

  • SECUR-LOK* Mechanism: A "lock-and-key" connection system for extension sets that ensures they remain securely attached during feeding or movement.

  • Tapered and Recessed Tip: The tube's end is tapered for smooth insertion. When the retention balloon is inflated, the tip is recessed to prevent it from poking the stomach lining.

  • Radiopaque Stripe: Features a built-in line that is clearly visible under X-ray, allowing clinicians to verify placement without using contrast media.

  • High-Flow 16 Fr Diameter: Compared to smaller sizes (like 12 Fr), this wider diameter allows for thicker formulas and more rapid bolus feeding while being less prone to clogging.
