Frequently asked questions
Does this tube help reduce skin irritation?
Yes. The external bolster is 37% lower in profile than standard models and is constructed without hard or bulky materials, which helps significantly reduce skin irritation and discomfort.
Is the material comfortable for long-term wear?
Absolutely. It is made from medical-grade silicone, which is soft and flexible. This design helps the tube conform to the body, making it gentler on the stoma site during daily use.
Can this be used easily for nighttime feeding?
Yes, the device features a ‘Glo Green’ indicator that glows in the dark. This is specifically designed to assist caregivers in accurately handling and identifying the port during low-light conditions.
Does the kit include everything needed for immediate use?
Yes, this is a comprehensive kit. It includes:
- Gastrostomy tube device
- Bolus and Y-port extension sets
- Syringes (5cc/10cc balloon and 35cc bolus)
- Optional introducer/stiffener
- Gauze and water-soluble lubricant
How does this prevent leaking around the stoma?
The device features a tapered transition from the shaft to the external bolster. This design engineering ensures a more reliable and secure seal outside the stomach, which helps minimize leakage.
Will this snag on clothing easily?
No. The low-profile bolster is designed to be unobtrusive, sitting significantly closer to the skin than standard tubes. This helps prevent the common issue of the device snagging on clothing or other items.
Is the silicone material safe for patients?
Yes, the device is made from medical-grade silicone, which is standard for high-quality enteral feeding devices to ensure biocompatibility and reduced risk of trauma to the stoma site.
Is this device durable?
While the medical-grade silicone is soft and comfortable, it is specifically engineered to be robust enough for regular, daily use, maintaining its shape and integrity over time.
Is this product manufactured in the United States?
Yes, this product is manufactured in the United States and is both BAA (Buy American Act) and TAA (Trade Agreement Act) compliant.
