Description
This low-profile "button" device is a very common choice for older pediatric patients and lean adults. The 16 French diameter offers a slightly larger lumen than the 14 Fr, allowing for better flow of thicker formulas and medications, while the 1.2 cm stoma length is a standard size for patients with a relatively thin abdominal wall.
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, providing a discrete appearance under clothing and reducing the risk of accidental "pull-outs" by active patients.
ENFit Safety Connectors: Equipped with the international standard ENFit system to prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems (like IV lines) and ensure a secure, leak-free fit.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction is soft, flexible, and comfortable for the patient while maintaining long-term durability.
Recessed Distal Tip: Designed to reduce irritation to the gastric mucosa (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 not connected.
Tapered Tip: Facilitates a smoother and more comfortable insertion during tube replacements.
