Frequently asked questions
Does this tube help reduce gastric leakage?
Yes, it features a unique apple-shaped bolster design. This shape is engineered to cover more surface area at the stoma site, which provides a superior seal to effectively minimize potential gastric leakage.
Is the material comfortable for daily wear?
Absolutely. It is constructed from soft, high-quality medical-grade silicone. The flexible bolster is designed to conform to the body, allowing for greater comfort during movement and daily activities.
Are there specific feeding sets I must use?
Yes. For proper fit and function, this button is compatible exclusively with AMT feeding sets. Please ensure you use only the designated manufacturer accessories to maintain the integrity of the system.
Is this tube discreet under clothing?

What are the dimensions of this tube?
