Key Features
16 French Diameter: A versatile mid-range size that balances ease of insertion with a wide enough lumen to accommodate standard enteral formulas and liquid medications.
1.2 cm Stoma Length: Designed to provide a comfortable fit for a relatively thin abdominal wall, preventing the button from "pitting" or digging into the skin.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the abdomen, offering a discrete appearance under clothing and significantly reducing the risk of accidental removal compared to long tubes.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone that is soft and designed for long-term comfort and durability.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve prevents the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is disconnected.
