Description
Key Features
18 French Diameter: The wide gauge is excellent for minimizing clogs and allowing for the administration of various medications and high-calorie formulas that might obstruct smaller (14 or 16 Fr) tubes.
Non-ENFit Catheter-Tip Connector: This is a legacy model featuring the traditional "Christmas tree" or tapered hub. It is compatible with standard catheter-tip syringes.
Note: If your facility uses the purple threaded safety system, you will need the ENFit version, SKU 8200-18.
Trimmable Distal Tip: The tube has an initial length of approximately 51 cm (20 inches). It is designed to be cut to size by a physician during placement to ensure the tip sits perfectly within the patient's jejunal anatomy.
Silicone Internal Balloon: A medical-grade silicone retention balloon anchors the tube securely inside the stomach stoma before the tube extends into the small intestine.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster: A sliding retention ring that stays flush against the skin. Its ventilated design helps prevent skin irritation by allowing air to circulate around the stoma.
High-Clarity Silicone: The medical-grade silicone is transparent, allowing for easy visual inspection for hygiene and flow.
