Frequently asked questions
Does the unique bolster design help reduce leakage?

Is the material used for this tube skin-friendly?
Absolutely. The device is constructed using high-quality, medical-grade silicone. This material is chosen specifically for its:
- Durability for long-term use.
- Biocompatibility to ensure patient safety and reduce the risk of irritation.

Patient comfort is a primary design goal. The bolster is soft and flexible, allowing it to sit flush against the skin, which minimizes irritation. Additionally, its low-profile design ensures it remains discreet and less likely to snag on clothing during daily activities.
