Key Features
Standard Pediatric/Adult Size: The 16 French diameter is one of the most widely used sizes, balancing efficient flow for most standard formulas with a smaller footprint for patient comfort.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discrete under clothing. This reduces the "lever effect" that can cause stoma irritation and lowers the risk of the tube being accidentally pulled out.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that remains soft and flexible while providing long-term durability.
Internal Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone balloon (recommended fill volume 3–5 mL for this 16 Fr size) provides secure internal retention and allows for easy, non-surgical replacement.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents the leakage of stomach contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a built-in barium sulfate stripe for clear visualization under X-ray to confirm the tube's position within the gastric cavity.
