Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin to provide a discreet appearance. This design is specifically engineered to reduce the risk of accidental "pull-outs" caused by snagging on clothing or bedding, which is vital for maintaining the integrity of the stoma site.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from soft, high-clarity silicone for patient comfort. This material is biocompatible and designed to remain durable despite constant exposure to the corrosive effects of gastric acid.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A specialized one-way valve located inside the button head prevents stomach contents from leaking out when the extension set is disconnected, keeping the stoma site dry and protecting the skin from acid irritation.
Secur-Lok* Connection: Features a patented "lock-and-key" mechanism. Extension sets must be inserted and rotated to lock in place, ensuring they do not accidentally disconnect during feeding, medication administration, or physical activity.
Inflatable Silicone Balloon: An internal retention balloon holds the tube securely in place. It is inflated with sterile water via a dedicated side port marked "BAL." The balloon is designed for high reliability and long-term placement.
Recessed Distal Tip: The tip is designed to be flush with the balloon when inflated, which minimizes the risk of the device irritating the sensitive mucosal lining of the stomach.
