Key Features
High-Flow 24 French Diameter: The 24 Fr size provides a larger internal lumen, which is ideal for delivering thicker formulas or higher volumes of nutrition with less resistance and a significantly lower risk of tube clogging.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin to provide a more discrete and comfortable experience compared to traditional long tubes. This design reduces the risk of accidental displacement or snagging on clothing.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for patient comfort and long-term durability.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted with tungsten to assist in maintaining the tube's position within the jejunum and prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach.
Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve located inside the proximal button head prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is not attached.
Internal Retention Balloon: A 7–10 mL silicone balloon ensures secure internal placement and is less traumatic during insertion and removal than non-balloon devices.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a built-in radiopaque stripe and tip for clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy to verify accurate placement.
