Description
Key Features
16 French Diameter: A versatile gauge that provides a smaller stoma footprint than adult-standard 20 Fr tubes, while still being wide enough to deliver most standard enteral formulas.
Maximum 5.0 cm Stoma Length: The longest "neck" produced for this diameter; used only when the abdominal wall is too deep for the 4.0 cm or 4.5 cm versions.
Low-Profile Design: Despite the extreme length, the external portion remains a flush-mount "button," which is more discrete and less likely to snag than a traditional long G-tube.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Transparent, biocompatible construction that is soft against the skin and durable for 3–6 months of typical use.
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.
