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.
