Key Features
Dual-Function Design: Features two distinct lumens to manage complex digestive needs:
Gastric Port: Used for gastric decompression, venting air, or draining secretions.
Jejunal Port: Used for delivering nutrition directly into the small intestine.
Stabilized Placement: * Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal jejunal tip is weighted to help maintain its position in the small bowel and prevent migration back into the stomach.
Guidewire Included: The kit typically includes a 0.025" guidewire to assist with placement or exchanges.
High Visibility: The tube is designed with a radiopaque stripe (or fully opaque jejunal section) to allow clinicians to verify its position clearly under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
External Retention: Includes the SECUR-LOK external bolster*, which holds the tube securely at the skin level while allowing for air circulation to maintain stoma health.
