Description
Key Features
16 French Diameter: A versatile gauge that is thinner than the 20 Fr adult standard. It is ideal for patients who need a smaller stoma footprint but still require consistent delivery of standard enteral formulas.
Ultra-Long 4.5 cm Stoma Length: Bridges an exceptionally deep abdominal wall. This ensures the internal retention balloon sits securely against the stomach wall without the external button "disappearing" into the skin or causing pressure necrosis.
Low-Profile Design: Even with this extreme stoma length, the device remains a flush-mount "button," offering more comfort and discretion than a traditional long G-tube.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Transparent, biocompatible silicone that is soft and durable for 3–6 months of typical use.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve keeps stomach contents (acid and formula) inside the stomach when the extension set is not attached.
