Key Features
16 French Diameter: A mid-range gauge that is thinner and often more comfortable for patients with smaller stomas, yet wide enough for standard enteral nutrition.
2.3 cm Stoma Length: A specialized length for deeper stoma tracts. It ensures that the retention balloon sits against the gastric wall without the external button "digging" into the skin.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, providing maximum discretion and reducing the risk of accidental removal or snagging on clothes.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible construction that remains soft and flexible for 3–6 months of typical use.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents stomach contents from leaking out when the extension set is disconnected.
