Description
Key Features
16 French Diameter: A mid-range gauge that is thinner than the adult standard 20 Fr, often providing a more comfortable stoma footprint for certain patients while still allowing for standard liquid nutrition.
Ultra-Long 4.0 cm Stoma Length: One of the longest "neck" lengths available in the 16 Fr line. It ensures the internal retention balloon reaches the stomach cavity without the external button "sinking" into the skin.
Low-Profile Design: Despite the long stoma length, the external portion remains a flush-mount "button," which is more discrete and less prone to accidental dislodgment than a traditional long G-tube.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Transparent, biocompatible silicone construction designed for softness and durability.
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.
