Key Features

  • 18 French Diameter: A specialized mid-range size. It offers better flow for nutrition and medication than a 16 Fr, but has a smaller footprint and is generally easier to insert than the 20 Fr adult standard.

  • 1.2 cm Stoma Length: Designed to provide a comfortable fit for a relatively thin abdominal wall. This length helps prevent "pitting" (the button digging into the skin) while maintaining a low profile.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible construction that is soft against the skin and durable for several months of use.

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

  • Radiopaque Stripe: Features a barium sulfate stripe to allow for quick verification of the tube’s position via X-ray.
