Features:

Medical-Grade Silicone Material:
The Anti-Reflux Silicone Gastrostomy Tube is made from high-quality medical-grade silicone, a material that is known for its biocompatibility, durability, and flexibility. Unlike other materials, silicone is soft, smooth, and resistant to irritation, making it ideal for long-term use in enteral feeding applications. It is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and does not cause any adverse reactions when in contact with the skin or internal tissues.

Anti-Reflux Design:
The anti-reflux valve built into the tube helps to prevent gastric contents from flowing back into the esophagus, which reduces the risk of aspiration. This feature is especially important for patients who are at a higher risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as it minimizes the potential for food or liquid to be regurgitated, reducing the chance of choking, vomiting, or aspiration pneumonia.
