Key Features
Dual-Port Functionality: This tube allows for simultaneous Gastric Decompression (venting or drainage of the stomach) and Jejunal Feeding (delivering nutrition directly into the small intestine). This is critical for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding.
Tungsten Weighted Tip: The distal (jejunal) end of the tube is weighted with tungsten to assist in initial placement and help prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a high-visibility stripe along the entire length of the tube to facilitate verification of placement under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster:* An external retention ring that holds the tube securely against the skin while allowing airflow to the stoma site, reducing the risk of skin irritation.
Tapered Distal Tip: Designed for smooth, atraumatic insertion during initial placement or tube exchanges.
