Key Features
Gastric Access: This device is a G-tube, terminating just inside the stomach wall. It is designed for patients with a functional stomach who do not require small-bowel (jejunal) feeding.
Standard 16 French Diameter: A versatile size suitable for many pediatric and adult patients, offering a balance between a small stoma footprint and efficient flow for standard enteral formulas.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discrete under clothing and reducing the risk of accidental "pull-outs" compared to traditional long tubes.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction ensures the device is soft, flexible, and durable for long-term use.
Internal Retention Balloon: A silicone balloon (recommended fill volume 3–5 mL for this 16 Fr size) holds the device securely in the stomach.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is not connected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a built-in barium sulfate stripe for clear visualization under X-ray to confirm the tube's position.
