Description
Key Features
16 French Diameter: A versatile mid-range gauge that is thinner than the adult standard 20 Fr, making it easier to tolerate for some patients while still allowing for standard enteral formulas.
2.5 cm Stoma Length: Designed for a deeper stoma tract. This length prevents the "button" from pressing too firmly into the skin, which can cause pressure necrosis or "pitting."
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the abdomen, offering a discrete appearance under clothing and reducing the risk of accidental removal.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible construction that remains soft and flexible for 3–6 months of typical use.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve prevents the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is disconnected.
