Frequently asked questions
Why is this better than a balloon button?
This device uses a durable internal silicone retention bolster instead of a balloon. This eliminates the risk of balloon deflation or rupture, making it ideal for patients who have sensitivities to standard balloon-style devices or those who cannot tolerate them due to anatomical constraints.
Is this suitable for long-term use?
Yes. It is specifically engineered as a reliable, long-term enteral access solution. The high-quality silicone construction and robust retention bolster are designed to provide a longer lifespan compared to standard balloon-based gastrostomy tubes.
Does it take up much space in the stomach?
No, it is designed with a smaller internal bolster footprint. This optimized design occupies less space within the stomach, which helps improve patient comfort while maintaining a secure fit.
Is this device sterile?
Yes, this kit is provided completely sterile and ready for clinical application upon arrival.
How does the low-profile design help?
The low-profile silhouette is designed to lay flat against the skin. This minimalist construction helps increase patient comfort and significantly reduces the risk of the device snagging on clothing or other surfaces.
Can this be used for all patients?
This device is specifically intended for patients who require a non-balloon alternative. It is highly recommended for those with gastric environment sensitivities or anatomical constraints that make traditional balloon-based devices unsuitable.
