Description
Key Features
16 French Diameter: A versatile, mid-sized gauge that is smaller than the 20 Fr adult standard, making it easier for some patients to tolerate while still allowing for the easy passage of standard formulas.
2.0 cm Stoma Length: Provides a comfortable fit for deeper stoma tracts. This length is often a "step up" for patients who find shorter lengths (like 1.5 cm or 1.7 cm) are too tight and are causing skin indentation.
Low-Profile Design: The "button" style rests flush against the skin, which is more comfortable for active users and significantly more discrete under clothing.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Built with high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that remains soft and flexible for 3–6 months of typical use.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve prevents stomach acid or formula from leaking out when the feeding extension set is disconnected.
