Key Features
Simultaneous Dual Access: Features two distinct, labeled ports. The Gastric port allows for venting the stomach of gas and fluid, while the Jejunal port allows for the delivery of nutrition directly into the small intestine.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The 30 cm jejunal segment is weighted with tungsten. This helps the tube maintain its position past the pylorus and prevents the "tail" from migrating backward into the stomach.
SECUR-LOK Retention Ring:* An external bolster that holds the tube securely at the skin level. Its ventilated design allows air to circulate around the stoma, which is critical for preventing skin breakdown.
High-Clarity Silicone: The medical-grade silicone is soft and biocompatible, designed to minimize irritation to the stoma tract and the intestinal mucosa.
Radiopaque Stripe: A high-visibility line runs the entire length of the tube, allowing for quick verification of both the gastric balloon and the jejunal tip position via X-ray.
Medical Description
The 60311 is clinically indicated for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding but require a device that can still vent the stomach. Because of the 14 Fr diameter and 30 cm length, it is often chosen for adolescents or adults with a smaller physical frame.
Common Clinical Scenarios:
Gastroparesis: When the stomach does not empty properly, requiring feeding past the stomach while venting the organ for comfort.
High Aspiration Risk: Patients who reflux gastric contents into the lungs and must be fed directly into the small intestine.
Severe GERD: Gastroesophageal reflux that is unresponsive to medication and risks lung damage.
