Key Features
Dual-Port Utility: The external button base features two distinct, labeled ports. The Gastric port allows for venting gas or draining stomach contents, while the Jejunal port is used for delivering continuous nutrition.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal tip of the 15 cm jejunal segment is weighted with tungsten. This helps gravity and peristalsis maintain the tube’s position in the small intestine, preventing it from migrating back into the stomach.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valves: Both the gastric and jejunal ports contain internal one-way valves. These prevent the backflow of stomach acid or formula when the extension sets are disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line runs the entire length of the tube, from the button to the tip. This allows clinicians to confirm correct placement via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more comfortable and less likely to snag on clothing compared to standard "long" G-J tubes.
