Key Features
Gastric Access: As a G-tube, this device terminates just inside the stomach. It is designed for patients with a functional stomach who do not require feeding into the small intestine (jejunum).
16 French Diameter: A highly versatile size common for both pediatric and adult patients, providing a balance between a small stoma footprint and efficient flow for standard formulas.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discrete under clothing and reducing the risk of accidental "pull-outs" or snagging compared to traditional "dangly" tubes.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction ensures the device is soft against the stoma site 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 and allows for non-surgical replacement.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents stomach contents from leaking out when the extension set is not connected.
