Key Features
Precision Jejunal Placement: The 55-inch length is specifically for post-pyloric feeding. The CORTRAK* 2 monitor allows the clinician to navigate the pylorus and verify the tube's position in the duodenum or jejunum without immediate reliance on fluoroscopy or multiple X-rays.
Real-Time Path Visualization: The transmitting stylet communicates with a receiver unit on the patient’s chest, showing a 3D-like map of the tube’s path. This is a critical safety feature that helps identify accidental lung placement or esophageal coiling at the moment it occurs.
High-Strength Polyurethane: Despite its 55-inch length and narrow 8 Fr diameter, the polyurethane material provides high kink resistance and a relatively large internal lumen, which is essential for maintaining flow and preventing clogs in such a long tube.
Anti-Clog Design: The distal tip is designed with an outlet port larger than the internal diameter. This "Ultra" design prevents solids from trapping at the tip, which is a common failure point for small-bore, extra-long tubes.
