Key Features
ENFit® Safety Connectors: Utilizes threaded ports that require specific ENFit® extension sets, ensuring a secure, leak-proof lock and enhancing patient safety by preventing tubing misconnections.
Low-Profile Design: Sits at skin level (the "button" style), which is more comfortable for active patients, more discreet under clothing, and less likely to be accidentally snagged.
Dual-Port Functionality:
Jejunal (J) Port: Specifically for delivering nutrition and hydration directly into the small intestine.
Gastric (G) Port: Specifically for stomach decompression (venting), suctioning, or medication delivery.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal jejunal end is weighted and features a radiopaque stripe, helping the tube stay in the correct position and allowing for verification via X-ray (fluoroscopy).
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible material for durability and easy visual inspection of the tube's contents.
