Indication
The Low Profile Non-Balloon Feeding Device (Bard® equivalent) is indicated for use in patients who require long term feeding, are unable to tolerate oral feeding, who are at low risk for aspiration, require gastric decompression and/or medication delivered directly into the stomach through a secured (initial placement) or formed (replacement) stoma.
Why the Non-Balloon Option?
Low Profile
Discreet lower external profile, easy to conceal under clothing
Extended Life
Internal silicone retention bolster may last much longer than balloon devices
Individual Needs
Ideal for patients who do not tolerate balloon buttons due to anatomy or differences in gastric environment
