Key Features
Small-Stature Optimization: The 12 Fr diameter and Low Volume balloon are specifically engineered for pediatric or neonatal patients where gastric space is limited.
Single Bolus Feeding Port: A single, unobstructed port at the top of the tube. This allows for the direct connection of catheter-tip syringes for bolus feeding or flushing without the need for extension sets.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: A sliding disk that holds the tube in place at the skin level. It features ventilation holes to allow air circulation, which is critical for preventing skin breakdown (maceration) around the stoma.
Depth Markings: The tube is printed with centimeter markings along its length, providing an easy way for caregivers to monitor for tube migration.
Tapered and Recessed Tip: Designed for gentle insertion. When the balloon is inflated to the 3 mL minimum, the tip is shielded to prevent it from rubbing against the stomach lining.
Radiopaque Stripe: Includes a built-in line that is visible on X-rays, allowing for quick and non-invasive confirmation of the tube's position.
