Key Features
High-Flow 24 French Diameter: The wide internal lumen is specifically designed to accommodate high-viscosity (thicker) formulas and high-volume delivery with minimal resistance, significantly reducing the risk of tube clogging.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discrete under clothing and more comfortable for active patients. This design minimizes the "lever effect" that can cause stoma irritation in traditional long tubes.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Built from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that remains flexible and durable for long-term enteral support.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end of the 30 cm jejunal segment is weighted with tungsten to help maintain the tube's position within the small bowel and prevent it from flipping back into the stomach.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve in the proximal button head prevents the leakage of intestinal contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Inflatable Retention Balloon: A 7–10 mL silicone balloon provides secure internal retention. Unlike non-balloon devices, this allows for easier, less traumatic replacement.
Radiopaque Verification: A barium sulfate stripe and the weighted tip are visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing for precise placement verification.
