Key Features
Maximum Flow Rate (24 Fr): The wide 24 French diameter is specifically designed for high-volume nutritional delivery and thicker formulas. The larger lumen significantly reduces the likelihood of tube occlusions (clogs).
Low-Profile Design: This "button" style device sits flush against the skin, making it discrete under clothing and reducing the risk of the tube being snagged or accidentally pulled out compared to traditional long tubes.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Built from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that remains soft and flexible, providing durability and patient comfort at the stoma site.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end of the 30 cm jejunal segment is weighted with tungsten to help the tube stay in the proper position within the small bowel and prevent it from migrating back into the stomach.
Internal Retention Balloon: A 7–10 mL silicone balloon provides secure internal retention. Because it is inflatable, replacement is generally easier and less traumatic for the patient than non-balloon devices.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve in the proximal head prevents intestinal contents from leaking out when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Verification: A built-in radiopaque stripe and the weighted tip are visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to verify precise placement.
