Frequently asked questions
Does this design help minimize skin irritation?
Yes, this device is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade silicone to specifically minimize the risk of skin irritation. The soft, flexible bolster is gentle on the stoma site, which significantly reduces the likelihood of mechanical irritation compared to traditional, rigid components.
Is the device comfortable for daily wear?
Absolutely. The MiniONE is designed for patient-centric comfort and features a 37% lower profile external bolster than traditional models. By removing hard or bulky parts, the device sits flush against the skin, making it much more comfortable for long-term use.
Does it offer better visibility for nighttime care?
Yes, this kit includes specialized “Glo Green” components. This feature is specifically designed to provide better visibility, making it much easier for caregivers to manage the device during nighttime feeds or in low-light conditions.
How does the design ensure a secure external seal?
The device features a unique tapered transition between the shaft and the external bolster. This precise engineering ensures a secure and effective seal outside the stomach, preventing leakage and providing peace of mind.

Is the material safe for long-term enteral nutrition?
Yes, it is specifically manufactured for long-term enteral nutrition. The use of medical-grade silicone ensures biocompatibility, durability, and a lightweight feel that is designed to improve the patient’s overall quality of life.
Is this product manufactured in the United States?
Yes, this product is manufactured in the United States. It is fully compliant with both the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Trade Agreement Act (TAA).
Are the materials used in this tube flexible?
Yes. The entire construction emphasizes a non-obtrusive, patient-centric design. Both the shaft and the external bolster are made from flexible silicone to move naturally with the patient’s body, preventing the discomfort associated with rigid tubing.
How should I clean the stoma site with this device?
The design of the soft, flexible bolster makes the area around the stoma site easy to clean. Its smooth, low-profile surface prevents debris buildup and minimizes the irritation typically caused by cleaning around bulkier, traditional bolsters.
What is the primary benefit of the low-profile bolster?
The primary benefits of the 37% lower profile bolster include:
- Reduced snagging on clothing.
- Improved comfort by eliminating bulky or hard edges.
- Better aesthetics due to its discreet, flush-to-skin appearance.
