Key Features
Standard 16 French Diameter: A highly versatile size used for both pediatric and adult patients, offering a balance between a small stoma footprint and efficient flow for most standard enteral formulas.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discrete under clothing and significantly reducing the risk of accidental displacement or snagging compared to traditional long tubes.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for patient comfort and long-term durability.
Internal Retention Balloon: A high-quality 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 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.
