Frequently asked questions
Does this device prioritize patient comfort?
Yes, it is designed for exceptional comfort. The external bolster is 37% lower profile than traditional models, eliminating bulky or hard components that can cause irritation. Its construction from medical-grade silicone further ensures biocompatibility and skin health.
Is the material safe for long-term use?
Absolutely. It is crafted from high-quality, medical-grade silicone. This material was specifically chosen for its ability to minimize skin irritation and promote better stoma site health during extended use.
Are there features to assist with nighttime care?
Yes, the kit includes “Glo Green” components. These are designed to enhance visibility for caregivers, making it much easier to manage feeding procedures during low-light or nighttime conditions.
How does this design protect the stoma site?
The design includes several protective features:
- Soft, flexible bolster: Reduces potential trauma to the skin.
- Tapered transition: The shaft-to-bolster transition is tapered to ensure a secure, effective seal, which helps protect the area from leakage or irritation.
Is the kit ready to use out of the box?
Yes, this is a sterile, comprehensive kit. It includes everything needed for proper placement and initial use, including:
- The feeding device
- Bolus and Y-port extension sets
- Syringes (Balloon and Bolus)
- Lubricant and gauze
- Introducer/Stiffener
Can I trust the manufacturing quality?
Yes, this product is manufactured in the United States. It is fully BAA and TAA compliant, meeting rigorous standards for quality and medical-grade manufacturing.
Will this device be less obtrusive under clothing?
Yes. Because it features a significantly lower profile external bolster that lies flush against the skin, it is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, providing a discreet solution for daily wear.
What is the benefit of the silicone construction?
The medical-grade silicone provides three key benefits:
- Biocompatibility: Reduces the risk of allergic reactions or irritation.
- Flexibility: Conforms to the body for a more comfortable fit.
- Durability: Designed to maintain its integrity during long-term nutritional support.
Is the seal around the stoma effective?
Yes. The device is engineered with a tapered transition from the shaft to the external bolster. This geometry is specifically designed to create a superior and secure seal, preventing issues at the entry site.
Are these components easy to clean?
Yes, the soft and flexible nature of the bolster simplifies the cleaning process significantly. Unlike rigid devices, the contoured shape allows for easier access and maintenance around the stoma site.
