$182.95

Description

Gastric Access: This is a G-tube, terminating just inside the stomach wall. It is designed for patients with a functional stomach who do not require feeding into the small intestine (jejunum).
16 French Diameter: A versatile and common size for pediatric, adolescent, and adult patients, providing a balance between a small stoma footprint and efficient flow for standard enteral formulas.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin to be discrete under clothing. This design minimizes the "lever effect" and skin irritation often associated with traditional long tubes and reduces the risk of accidental "pull-outs."
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction ensures the device is soft against the stoma site and durable for long-term use.
Internal Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone balloon (recommended fill volume 3–5 mL for this 16 Fr size) holds the device securely in the stomach and allows for relatively painless, non-surgical replacement.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents the leakage of stomach contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a built-in barium sulfate stripe for clear visualization under X-ray to confirm correct placement.
