Key Features
Maximum Diameter (24 Fr): The wide 24 French lumen is designed to accommodate thicker, high-viscosity formulas and high-volume nutritional delivery with the least amount of resistance, significantly reducing the risk of tube clogging.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, offering a discrete and comfortable alternative to traditional long tubes. This design reduces the risk of accidental displacement or "pull-outs" during daily activities.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that is soft and flexible, maximizing patient comfort and durability.
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 retrograde migration 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.
