Description

Technical Specifications

  • French Size: 16 Fr (Outer diameter)

  • Stoma Length: 1.0 cm (Short/shallow shaft)

  • Balloon Fill Volume: 3 mL (Recommended) to 5 mL (Maximum)

  • Material: High-clarity medical-grade silicone

  • Connection: SECUR-LOK* (Non-ENFit)


Key Features

  • Increased Flow Rate: The 16 Fr diameter is significantly wider than the 12 Fr models, allowing for faster bolus feeding and reducing the likelihood of clogging when administering thicker formulas or medications.

  • Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin. At 1.0 cm, it is designed for a very close fit, which minimizes "pistoning" (movement of the tube in and out of the stoma) that can cause irritation.

  • Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve at the top of the feeding port prevents stomach contents from leaking out when the extension set is disconnected.

  • SECUR-LOK* Locking System: The extension set must be inserted and turned to lock into place, preventing accidental disconnects during active feeds or sleep.

  • Recessed Distal Tip: When the balloon is inflated to at least 3 mL, the distal tip is shielded by the balloon to prevent it from rubbing against the stomach wall.

  • Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line visible on X-rays for easy confirmation of the tube's position inside the stomach.
