The pounds per square inch (PSI) is less than one. In the research conducted to date, the pressure of the mucosal tissue is greater than that of the Flexi-Seal® FMS retention balloon. The result of this PSI difference is that the mucosal tissue takes the shape of the retention balloon. This minimizes the chance of tissue necrosis.
