Key Features

  • Gastric Access: This G-tube terminates just inside the stomach. It is designed for patients with a functional stomach who do not require feeding into the small intestine (jejunum).

  • 18 French Diameter: A mid-range size that provides excellent flow for most standard enteral formulas while maintaining a relatively small stoma footprint compared to 20 or 24 French tubes.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discrete under clothing and reducing the "lever effect" that can lead to stoma irritation or accidental "pull-outs."

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction ensures the device is soft against the stoma site and durable for long-term use.

  • Internal Retention Balloon: A silicone balloon (recommended fill volume 3–5 mL for this 18 Fr size) holds the device securely in the stomach and allows for non-surgical replacement.

  • Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is not connected.

  • Radiopaque Stripe: Includes a built-in barium sulfate stripe for clear visualization under X-ray to confirm the tube's position.
