Description
Key Features
18 French Diameter: Provides a larger internal lumen than pediatric sizes (12–16 Fr), allowing for faster flow of standard enteral formulas and easier administration of crushed medications.
1.5 cm Stoma Length: A versatile "medium" length that provides a secure fit for most standard stoma tracts without being overly restrictive.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin to minimize snagging on clothing and improve patient comfort and body image.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Transparent, biocompatible silicone construction that remains soft and flexible while indwelling.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A built-in one-way valve prevents stomach contents from leaking out when the extension set is disconnected.
