Applied Medical Technology 1704 - Balloon Stoma Measuring Device Non-Guidewire Compatible, Inflated, 10/BX
AMT Stoma Measuring Device
Helps assess stoma length so the clinician can identify which low-profile device to use for replacement. Accurately measures stoma length.
The Importance of Measuring
Measurement is critically important in placing an enteral feeding device and the measurements may vary depending on the device. The "length" of the leading competitor refers to the distance from above the external bolster to a point lower than the top of the balloon, to account for device migration into the tissue.
The length of the MiniONE refers to the distance from the bottom of the external bolster to the top of the balloon. The MiniONE at recommended fill volume, will lay fat against the stomach wall, securing the device without embedding up into the tissue.
What's The Difference Between AMT Balloon Stoma Measuring Device and Another Brand?
The diference between products shows that it is crucial to measure stoma length using the AMT Balloon Stoma Measuring Device when a patient switches to AMT from another brand. It cannot be assumed a patient will use the same size in both devices.
Balloon Survival Tests
For Maximum Balloon Life
It is crucial to measure stoma length using the AMT Balloon Stoma Measuring Device for proper ft.
Balloon Life: AMT MiniONE vs. Competitor
Tests at the third party lab testing have shown significantly longer balloon life under controlled laboratory acid test conditions.
- Balloon is made from the highest grade medical silicone
- Stronger and more durable than other balloon buttons
- More compliant and better able to withstand stomach contractions
