Key Features

  • 16 French Diameter: A versatile mid-range gauge. While thinner than the 20 Fr or 24 Fr models, it is the standard size for most commercial enteral formulas and is generally easier to manage for patients with smaller stoma sites.

  • 1.5 cm Stoma Length: Considered a "medium" length. It provides a snug, secure fit for a standard stoma tract, maintaining the low-profile benefits without being overly tight.

  • Low-Profile Design: The "button" style rests flush against the skin, which is more comfortable for active patients and much more discrete under everyday clothing.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction that remains soft and flexible while indwelling.

  • Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents stomach acid or formula from leaking out when the feeding extension set is not attached.


Technical Specifications

  • Manufacturer SKU: 0120-16-1.5

  • Stoma Length: 1.5 cm

  • Balloon Fill Volume: Recommended 3–5 mL of sterile or distilled water (Maximum capacity: 10 mL).

    • Note: Always use the volume recommended by your clinician, as 16 Fr balloons are smaller than 20/24 Fr balloons.
