MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastrostomy Feeding Tube – 18 Fr, 1.7 cm, 0120-18-1.7

$182.95

Description

18 French Diameter: A specialized gauge that provides a better flow rate than 16 Fr tubes while maintaining a smaller stoma footprint than the 20 Fr adult standard.
1.7 cm Stoma Length: Offers a "relaxed" fit. This length helps prevent the external bolster from digging into the skin (pitting), which can cause discomfort and skin breakdown.
Low-Profile Design: The "button" rests flush against the abdomen, offering a discrete appearance and reducing the risk of the tube being accidentally pulled out.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible construction that remains soft and flexible for 3–6 months of typical use.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve prevents stomach acid or formula from leaking out when the extension set is disconnected.
