Key Features

  • 18 French Diameter: Provides a slightly larger lumen than the 16 Fr, allowing for better flow of standard formulas and easier medication administration while remaining more compact than the 20 Fr adult size.

  • 1.0 cm Stoma Length: A standard "short" length that provides a snug, secure fit for a shallow stoma tract.

  • Low-Profile Design: The "button" style sits flush against the skin, offering maximum discretion and reducing the risk of the tube catching on clothing.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Transparent, biocompatible silicone construction designed for softness, flexibility, and durability.

  • Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A built-in one-way valve prevents the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is disconnected.
