Frequently asked questions
Does the apple-shaped design improve leakage prevention?
Yes, the proprietary apple-shaped bolster is a key design innovation. It offers a larger surface area than traditional circular bolsters, which promotes a superior seal and significantly minimizes the risk of gastric leakage.
Is the material comfortable for extended wear?
Absolutely. The device is constructed from high-quality medical-grade silicone, which is gentle on skin tissue. It features a soft, flexible bolster designed to conform to the patient’s body for maximum comfort during long-term use.
