Frequently asked questions
Is the material safe for long-term use?
Yes, this tube is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade silicone. This biocompatible material is specifically designed for long-term enteral nutrition, ensuring both durability and patient safety through its soft, body-conforming nature.
Does it prevent leakage during feeding?
Yes, the tube is equipped with a proximal anti-reflux valve to prevent backflow, and it utilizes the SECUR-LOK extension set connector. This integrated system provides a reliable, locking interface that ensures a secure, leak-free connection during nutrition delivery.
Will the low-profile design prevent snagging?
Absolutely. The low-profile design is engineered specifically to lie nearly flush against the skin. This unobtrusive form factor significantly minimizes the risk of the tube snagging on clothing or being accidentally dislodged.
Is the distal tip adjustable for placement?
Yes, the tube features a trimmable distal tip (up to 81 cm from the distal end to the balloon tip), allowing clinicians to customize the length for precise placement based on individual patient requirements.
Can medical staff verify the position easily?
Yes, the tube includes an integrated radiopaque strip. This allows for clear visualization under imaging, ensuring that healthcare providers can easily confirm the tube’s positioning.
Does this kit provide everything needed for placement?
This is a comprehensive, sterile kit designed for immediate clinical use. The package includes:
- (1) Introducer cannula
- (1) Right angle extension set (with Y-port and clamp)
- (1) Bolus extension set (with catheter tip and clamp)

- Directions for use
How is the tube held in place internally?
The device utilizes a silicone internal retention balloon. This mechanism provides a secure and comfortable anchor point within the jejunum to maintain the tube’s position safely.
Is the connection to feeding sets secure?
The tube features the SECUR-LOK extension set connector. This system is specifically designed to provide a secure, locked interface that prevents accidental disconnection during the feeding process.
Is the tube comfortable for the patient?
Patient comfort is a core priority in this design. By using soft, medical-grade silicone that conforms to the body and keeping the exterior hub nearly flush against the skin, the device minimizes irritation and physical discomfort during daily activities.
Is the product delivered in sterile condition?
Yes, this is a factory-new, sterile device. It is packaged to maintain clinical sterility, ensuring it is ready for use in a professional healthcare setting immediately upon arrival.
