Is this suitable for both bolus and continuous feeding?
Yes. The kit includes both a continuous feed extension set and a bolus feed extension set, giving you the flexibility to use the device for whichever feeding method your care plan requires.
What is the tube material made of?
The tube is constructed from high-quality, biocompatible medical-grade silicone. This material is chosen for its durability and its ability to minimize skin irritation, making it ideal for long-term enteral nutrition.

How does the tube stay securely in place?
The device features an inflatable internal retention balloon. Once inserted, this balloon is inflated to ensure the tube remains safely and correctly positioned inside the stomach during use.
Is the feeding connection universal?

Can this be used for medication administration?
Yes, the design provides a stable and secure access point that can be used for both enteral nutrition and medication administration as directed by your clinician.

The radiopaque stripe is a safety feature embedded in the tube that allows medical professionals to verify the tube’s position and placement using X-ray imaging if needed.
Is the insertion stylet included?

How should I manage the site after placement?
