Frequently asked questions
Why is the apple-shaped balloon design better?
Unlike traditional spherical balloons, the unique apple-shaped design expands horizontally. This increases the contact surface area against the abdominal wall, which provides a superior seal, helps minimize accidental leakage, and reduces the development of granulation tissue at the stoma site.
Can I adjust the fit for better comfort?
Yes. The balloon fill volume is fully adjustable, allowing healthcare providers to customize the fit to meet the specific comfort needs of the patient.
What is the tube made of?
This gastrostomy tube is manufactured from high-quality medical-grade silicone. This material is specifically chosen for its excellent biocompatibility and its ability to withstand long-term use.
Is this kit compatible with standard feeding systems?
Yes, this is an ENFit system. The kit also includes an ENFit Single-Port to Y-Port adapter and a pinch clamp to ensure seamless integration and a secure pathway for nutrition delivery.
How does the design help prevent irritation?
By expanding horizontally rather than pressing vertically into the tissue, the balloon creates a more stable, low-profile seal. This helps keep the tube secure, which can significantly reduce tissue irritation and the growth of unwanted granulation tissue at the gastrostomy site.
Is this product manufactured to high safety standards?
Absolutely. This kit is factory new, sterile, and fully compliant with TAA (Trade Agreement Act) and BAA (Buy American Act) regulations, ensuring it meets rigorous quality and safety benchmarks.
