Key Features
ENFit® Safety Connectors: The ports utilize a threaded design that requires specific ENFit® extension sets and syringes, ensuring a secure, leak-proof connection and enhancing patient safety.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the patient's skin at the stoma site, making the tube more comfortable, discreet under clothing, and less prone to accidental dislodgement.
Dual-Port Access:
Jejunal (J) Port: Specifically for delivering formula and fluids into the small intestine (jejunum).
Gastric (G) Port: Specifically for stomach venting (decompression), suctioning, or medication delivery.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal jejunal end is weighted and features a radiopaque stripe, which helps the tube stay in the correct position and allows for clear visualization during X-ray (fluoroscopy) placement.
Inflatable Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone balloon (typically 7–10 ml volume) holds the device securely inside the stomach.
