Key Features
Dual-Port Functionality: Separate ports allow for the venting or drainage of the stomach (Gastric) while providing continuous nutrition into the small intestine (Jejunal).
High Columnar Strength: The 45 cm jejunal segment is designed with high columnar strength and a tungsten-weighted tip to maintain its position in the small bowel and prevent migration back into the stomach.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Assists in the initial placement and helps keep the tube distal to the pylorus during natural peristalsis.
Radiopaque Stripe: A full-length stripe allows for easy visualization and position confirmation under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
SECUR-LOK Ring:* The external bolster holds the tube securely at the skin level while allowing air to circulate, which is vital for preventing stoma site irritation and breakdown.
Large-Bore 18 Fr Diameter: Provides a larger internal lumen than 14 Fr or 16 Fr models, making it more resistant to clogging from medications or thick formulas.
