Key Features
Dual-Lumen Access: Provides two distinct channels within a single tube:
Gastric Port: Used to vent air or drain secretions from the stomach.
Jejunal Port: Used to deliver nutrition and medicine directly into the small intestine (bypassing the stomach).
Internal Retention: A high-quality silicone balloon is inflated inside the stomach to prevent the tube from migrating or being accidentally pulled out.
Placement Security: * Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The end of the jejunal tube is weighted with tungsten to help it stay in position within the small bowel.
Radiopaque Stripe: A high-contrast stripe runs the length of the tube for clear visibility under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
External Bolster: Features the SECUR-LOK* ring, which keeps the tube flush against the skin while allowing air to circulate around the stoma to prevent irritation.
