Key Features
ENFit® Safety Connectors: The ports utilize a threaded design that requires specific ENFit® extension sets, ensuring a secure, leak-proof lock and enhancing patient safety.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, providing a discreet and comfortable fit that reduces the risk of the tube being snagged or accidentally pulled out.
Dual-Port Access:
Jejunal Port: Dedicated for nutrition and hydration directly into the small bowel.
Gastric Port: Dedicated for stomach decompression (venting), medication delivery, or drainage.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal jejunal end is weighted and features a radiopaque stripe, helping the tube stay in the correct anatomical position and allowing for verification via X-ray (fluoroscopy).
Internal Retention Balloon: A medical-grade silicone balloon (typically 7–10 ml volume) secures the device inside the stomach.
