Key Features
Large-Bore Jejunal Access: The 20 Fr diameter is one of the largest available for a direct jejunal "button." This provides a significantly larger internal channel than the standard 14 Fr, making it ideal for patients who require high-viscosity formulas.
Jejunostomy-Specific Balloon: Unlike gastric balloons that hold 7–10 ml, this balloon is designed for a 3–5 ml fill. This smaller footprint is critical to prevent bowel obstruction within the narrow diameter of the small intestine.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, which is especially beneficial for jejunal sites. Intestinal stomas are often more sensitive than gastric stomas; the "button" style reduces the risk of the tube snagging or causing "tugging" pain.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: Located in the head of the device, this valve prevents the backflow of intestinal fluids when the extension set is disconnected.
Atraumatic Distal Tip: The tip is smooth and tapered to minimize irritation of the sensitive intestinal mucosa during peristalsis.
Radiopaque Stripe: A high-visibility line is embedded in the silicone to allow for quick confirmation of the tube's position via X-ray.
