Description
1. Advanced Balloon Design
High-Grade Silicone: The internal retention balloon is made of medical-grade silicone that expands symmetrically to provide a secure anchor against the gastric wall.
Recessed Distal Tip: At the recommended fill volume (7–10 ml), the tube’s tip is designed to be recessed within the balloon. This prevents the hard plastic tip from "poking" or irritating the stomach lining, reducing the risk of mucosal trauma.
2. Superior Skin Care (SECUR-LOK)*
External Retention Ring: The patented SECUR-LOK ring* is designed to slide down the tube to hold it in place.
Air Circulation: The ring features small "feet" or a raised profile that keeps the bolster slightly away from the skin. This allows air to circulate around the stoma, preventing moisture buildup and reducing the risk of skin breakdown or fungal infections.
3. Enhanced Visibility & Placement
Radiopaque Stripe: A bold, built-in line runs the entire length of the silicone tube. This allows clinicians to quickly and clearly verify the tube's position within the stomach using an X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Graduated Markings: The tube features cm markings on the shaft, allowing the caregiver or clinician to monitor for tube migration (either inward or outward) by checking the number at the skin level.
4. User-Friendly Hub & Ports
Dual-Port Configuration: The hub features two distinct ports:
Feeding Port: For the primary delivery of formula.
Medication Port: A secondary port that allows for medicine administration without disconnecting the primary feeding set.
Tapered Distal Tip: The tip of the tube is tapered to facilitate a smoother, less traumatic insertion through the stoma tract during routine tube changes.
The 0210-18 is a large-bore, dual-lumen silicone tube. It is placed through a gastric stoma, where a retention balloon holds the tube in the stomach while a long, weighted tail extends through the pylorus into the jejunum.
