Key Features
Simultaneous Dual Access: The hub features two distinct, labeled ports. The Gastric port allows for the removal of air and fluid from the stomach to manage nausea and bloating, while the Jejunal port allows for the delivery of nutrition directly into the small intestine.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The 30 cm distal feeding segment is weighted with tungsten. This weight uses gravity and natural intestinal movement (peristalsis) to help the tube maintain its position past the pylorus and prevent it from migrating back into the stomach.
SECUR-LOK Retention Ring:* An external bolster that secures the tube at the skin surface. It features a ventilated base that allows air to circulate around the stoma, which is vital for preventing skin maceration and infection.
High-Clarity Silicone: Constructed from medical-grade silicone that remains soft and flexible, increasing patient comfort and extending the duration the device can safely remain in the stoma tract.
Multiple Distal Ports: The jejunal segment has several exit holes to ensure formula can flow freely even if one hole becomes blocked by the intestinal wall.
- Medical Indications
Chronic Gastroparesis: Where the stomach fails to empty, requiring feeding past the stomach while venting the organ.
High Aspiration Risk: Feeding into the jejunum bypasses the stomach, significantly lowering the risk of formula being inhaled into the lungs.
Pancreatitis: Allowing the pancreas to "rest" by delivering nutrition further down the GI tract.
Gastric Outlet Obstruction: Providing a pathway for nutrition when the exit of the stomach is physically blocked.
The 60316 is clinically indicated for adult patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding but still produce high volumes of gastric secretions that need to be drained.
