Description
This low-profile "button" device is a common choice for adolescents and adults. The 16 French diameter is a standard size that provides excellent flow for most enteral formulas, while the 1.7 cm stoma length is designed for patients with a slightly more moderate abdominal wall thickness than the standard 1.5 cm size, ensuring a fit that is secure without being restrictive.
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin for a discrete appearance under clothing. This design minimizes the "lever effect," reducing the risk of accidental "pull-outs" and skin irritation.
ENFit Safety System: Utilizes the international standard ENFit connectors, specifically designed to prevent accidental misconnections between enteral feeding sets and non-enteral medical devices (like IV lines).
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction is soft, flexible, and comfortable for the patient while maintaining long-term durability.
Recessed Distal Tip: The tip of the tube is recessed at the end of the balloon to minimize irritation to the stomach lining (gastric mucosa) during use.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A built-in one-way valve prevents stomach contents from leaking out when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a barium sulfate stripe built into the silicone for clear visualization under X-ray to confirm proper gastric placement.
