Key Features
Gastric Access: This is a G-tube, terminating just inside the stomach. It is designed for patients who have a functional stomach and do not require feeding into the small intestine.
16 French Diameter: A versatile size used across pediatric, adolescent, and adult populations, providing 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 significantly reducing the risk of accidental displacement 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 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 backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is disconnected.
