Frequently asked questions

Does this kit prioritize skin comfort during wear?

Yes, it is designed for maximum patient comfort. The system features an external raised feet design that minimizes skin contact, which significantly helps in reducing irritation at the stoma site compared to traditional feeding tubes.

Is the material safe for long-term use?

Absolutely. The device is manufactured from medical-grade, DEHP-free silicone. This material is chosen for its superior flexibility, durability, and patient safety, making it an excellent choice for long-term enteral nutrition requirements.

How does the system prevent accidental disconnections?

The kit includes the ClipStar enteral security clip. This component is specifically designed to provide a stable and reliable connection during the feeding process, offering peace of mind by preventing accidental disconnections.

Is this system easily identifiable for clinical staff?

Yes, safety and clarity are prioritized. The entire system is distinctively colored purple, providing an immediate and clear visual indicator that the device is intended specifically for enteral feeding applications.

Does the kit include everything needed for immediate use?

Is the low-profile design beneficial for daily activity?

It is highly beneficial. The low-profile architecture allows the device to sit flush against the skin, which significantly reduces the likelihood of the tube snagging on clothing or other objects, promoting greater ease of movement for the patient.

How is the device customized for the best fit?

The kit includes a Step-Up Shim. This component allows for proper adjustment and ensures that the low-profile device provides a secure and comfortable fit tailored to the patient’s specific needs.

Is this kit suitable for home-care settings?
