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.


Technical Specifications

  • Balloon Fill Volume: Recommended 3–5 mL of sterile or distilled water (Maximum capacity is 10 mL).

    • Note: 18 Fr balloons are smaller than 20/24 Fr models; do not overfill to avoid premature balloon failure.
