This is a dual-port device used for patients who need simultaneous gastric decompression (venting air or fluid from the stomach) and jejunal feeding (delivering nutrition directly into the small intestine).

Key Features
Weighted Distal Tip: The jejunal segment features a tungsten weight to help maintain proper positioning within the small bowel and reduce the risk of the tube migrating back into the stomach.
Dual Port Design: * Gastric Port: Used for gastric drainage or venting.
Jejunal Port: Used for continuous enteral feeding.
Tapered Tip: Designed for easier, atraumatic insertion during radiologic or endoscopic placement.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity material for visibility and durability, featuring a radiopaque stripe for easy verification of the tube's position under X-ray.
Low-Profile "Button": Sits flush against the skin, making it more comfortable and easier to conceal under clothing compared to traditional long G-J tubes.
