Description
Key Features
16 French Diameter: A mid-range gauge that provides a balance between patient comfort (smaller stoma footprint) and the ability to deliver standard nutritional formulas.
2.7 cm Stoma Length: Provides a "relaxed" fit for deeper stomas. This specific length helps prevent the button from becoming too tight (pitting) if a 2.5 cm tube is causing skin indentation.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Transparent, biocompatible silicone construction that is soft against the skin and designed for 3–6 months of use.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A built-in one-way valve prevents the backflow of stomach acid or formula when the feeding extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a barium sulfate stripe for quick verification of the tube’s position via X-ray.
