Description
This low-profile "button" device is designed for delivering nutrition, medication, or for gastric decompression. The 16 French diameter is one of the most common sizes for older children and lean adults, while the 0.8 cm stoma length is the shortest available, intended for patients with a very thin abdominal wall.
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin to be discrete under clothing. This significantly reduces the risk of the tube being snagged or accidentally pulled out compared to traditional long tubes.
ENFit Safety Connectors: Equipped with international standard ENFit connectors to ensure a secure, leak-free connection and prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems (like IV lines).
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction ensures the device remains soft and flexible against the stoma site while maintaining long-term durability.
Recessed Distal Tip: Designed to reduce irritation to the stomach lining by keeping the tip of the tube flush with the balloon when fully inflated.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Includes a built-in barium sulfate stripe for clear visualization under X-ray to confirm the tube's position within the stomach.
