Low Profile Gastrostomy Tube Kit MIC-Key 18 Fr. 0.8 cm Tube Silicone Sterile, 0120-18-0.8

$182.95

Description

18 French Diameter: A specialized gauge that sits between the standard pediatric (14/16 Fr) and adult (20/24 Fr) sizes. It offers a higher flow rate than a 16 Fr tube while remaining easier to insert than a 20 Fr.
0.8 cm Stoma Length: One of the shortest "neck" lengths available. It is designed for very thin abdominal walls to prevent the tube from "pistoning" (sliding back and forth), which can lead to leaks and skin irritation.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it highly discrete and reducing the risk of accidental removal during play or daily activities.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone that is soft and designed for long-term comfort.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve prevents the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is disconnected.
