Is the material gentle on the skin?
The tube is constructed from high-quality, soft medical-grade silicone. This material is chosen for its superior biocompatibility, which helps enhance patient tolerance and minimizes potential irritation at the stoma site.
How is the tube kept securely in place?
The device features an integrated inflatable internal retention balloon. This system is designed to provide a secure and stable placement within the stomach, ensuring the tube remains in the correct position for long-term nutrition delivery.
