Frequently asked questions
Does this device offer superior durability over balloon-style tubes?
Yes. This device uses a silicone internal retention bolster instead of a balloon. This design is engineered for significantly longer longevity and eliminates the common risks associated with balloon failure or deflation.
Is this button suitable for sensitive gastric environments?
Absolutely. It is specifically designed for patients who cannot tolerate balloon buttons. The soft, silicone construction provides a gentle interface, making it an ideal solution for those with unique anatomical constraints or sensitive gastric tissues.
How does the low-profile design benefit the patient?
The low-profile design allows the device to sit flush against the skin. This minimizes the risk of the tube snagging on clothing or being accidentally dislodged during daily activities, offering both comfort and security.
Does the kit contain everything needed for professional placement?
Yes, this is a complete procedural kit. It includes all essential tools, such as the placement and removal T-handles, various syringes, and extension sets to ensure a streamlined clinical setup.
Is the material safe for long-term medical use?
Yes, the device is manufactured from medical-grade, sterile silicone. This material is chosen for its biocompatibility, smooth texture, and non-porous surface, which are essential for long-term enteral nutrition.
Can this be used for both bolus and Y-port feeding?
Yes. The kit comes with both a Bolus Extension Set and a Y-port Extension Set, providing the versatility needed to support different feeding requirements depending on the patient’s specific care plan.
Is the internal bolster designed for maximum comfort?
Yes. The silicone retention bolster is engineered to occupy less volume within the gastric cavity compared to traditional devices, which enhances overall patient comfort without compromising the stability of the tube.
Is this product manufactured to high quality standards?
This product is made by Applied Medical Technology Inc. in the United States. It is fully compliant with the Buy American Act (BAA) and Trade Agreement Act (TAA), meeting rigorous quality and manufacturing standards.
What is the benefit of the included T-handle mechanism?
The T-handle features a tactile, ergonomic design with ridges to assist medical professionals during the insertion and removal process, allowing for precise control and ease of handling during the procedure.
Is there a risk of the tube shifting inside the stomach?
The device is specifically designed to minimize tube displacement. By using a firm yet soft silicone bolster rather than an inflatable balloon, the system maintains a secure and stable position within the gastric cavity.
