Key Features
Maximum Bore Size: The 28 Fr diameter is the largest in the series, offering the widest lumens to accommodate high-viscosity formulas and provide superior gastric drainage/decompression.
Simultaneous Access:
Gastric Lumen: For decompression, venting, or drainage of the stomach.
Jejunal Lumen: For delivery of nutrition and medication into the small intestine.
Stability and Placement: * Includes a tungsten-weighted tip to help prevent the jejunal segment from migrating back into the stomach.
A radiopaque stripe runs the length of the tube to facilitate placement verification under fluoroscopy or X-ray.
Patient Comfort: Features the SECUR-LOK external bolster*, which keeps the tube in place at the skin level while allowing the stoma site to "breathe."
