Key Features
Ultra-Long Jejunal Tail: At 45 cm, this tube is designed to reach deep into the jejunum, past the Ligament of Treitz. This is critical for patients who suffer from chronic tube "migration" or "flipping" back into the stomach.
Simultaneous Access: The low-profile button base allows for simultaneous gastric decompression (venting gas or draining fluid) and jejunal feeding (delivering nutrition).
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: To help maintain its position deep in the small intestine, the distal tip is weighted with tungsten, which works with natural peristalsis to keep the tube properly seated.
Multiple Exit Ports: The jejunal tail features several distal portholes to ensure formula flow remains consistent even if one hole becomes obstructed by intestinal mucosa or formula buildup.
Radiopaque Stripe: The entire tube length, including the full 45 cm tail, is radiopaque. This allows a radiologist to verify the exact position of the tip under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
