Description
This "extra-long" model is specifically designed for post-pyloric feeding (duodenal or jejunal placement). The 55-inch length provides the necessary reach for deep small-bowel access, while the 3g weight helps stabilize the tube's position once it has passed through the pylorus.
Key Features
Extra-Long 55-inch Reach: Significantly longer than the standard 43-inch adult tube, this length is essential for patients requiring jejunal feeding, where the tube must travel past the stomach and duodenum into the jejunum.
3-Gram Tungsten Weight: Features a light distal weight. While the 10g version (2431) is "heavier" to assist in initial migration, the 3g weight in the 2551 series provides enough gravity to keep the tip in place without being overly bulky for sensitive anatomy.
10 French Mid-Bore: The most common adult diameter, offering a large enough internal lumen to prevent clogging from standard formulas while remaining flexible enough for deep intestinal placement.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. The stylet is necessary to navigate the long 55-inch path; it is removed and discarded once placement is confirmed via X-ray.
Water-Activated Lubricant: The tip and internal lumen are often coated with a specialized lubricant (like C-19*) that becomes slippery when wet, facilitating a smoother insertion and easier stylet removal.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Medical-grade, radiopaque material that resists kinking and remains soft once inside the body. It is designed for long-term use (up to 30 days).
