Frequently asked questions
Why choose a non-balloon button over a balloon one?
This device is engineered for greater durability by replacing a fragile balloon with a robust silicone retention bolster. It is specifically designed for patients who may experience complications or sensitivity with traditional balloon-style feeding buttons.
Is the internal bolster more comfortable for the patient?
Yes, the smaller internal bolster occupies less space within the stomach compared to balloon-retained tubes, which helps improve overall patient comfort and reduces internal irritation.
Does this kit include everything needed for setup?
Yes, it is a comprehensive kit that includes all the necessary components for a successful installation and routine maintenance, including:
- The feeding device
- Bolus and Y-port extension sets
- Multiple syringes (5cc/10cc and 35cc)
- Sterile gauze
- Water-soluble lubricant
- An optional introducer/stiffener
How long will this device typically last?
While individual longevity depends on usage and care, the silicone retention bolster is specifically engineered to be more durable and long-lasting than standard inflatable balloon devices.
What is the tube size and length?
This specific kit is a 14 Fr. size with a 2.0 cm tube length. Please ensure these measurements match the requirements provided by your healthcare provider.
Is the material safe for sensitive patients?
The tube is constructed from high-grade, medical-quality silicone. This material is selected for its biocompatibility and is ideal for patients with sensitivities to the gastric environment.
Is this tube discreet to wear?
Yes, the low-profile external base is designed to sit flat against the skin, minimizing protrusion so it remains discreet under clothing while staying secure during daily activities.
