It's so hard to get comprehensive information on HEN. (I like that acronym) For example, lots of internet sites extol the "button" or flat feeding tubes made by Bard or Mic-key, yet the anti leak valve in the buttons is only 12 FR. Likewise almost all extender tubes are only 12 FR. I finally got a 16 FR G tube which handles the Vitamix food pretty good even with the narrow 12 FR extender and since it's larger than the extender tube, it does not clog very often. I am learning piece meal by cross examining each doctor that puts in a new feeding tube for me. So far I am on my 4th g-tube since March 2009 and next one scheduled for end of August, beginning of September.
