Description

This is a specialized "button-style" replacement tube designed for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding and require nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine, while still needing a port to vent or decompress the stomach.

Dimensional Breakdown

  • 16: The tube has a 16 French outer diameter.

  • 1.5: The stoma length (the thickness of the abdominal wall) is 1.5 cm.

  • 22: The jejunal (distal) length is 22 cm, measured from the gastric balloon to the tip.

Key Features

  • Balanced Jejunal Length: The 22 cm length is the most common "standard" size for adults, providing enough reach to pass the Ligament of Treitz to ensure stable feeding without being excessively long.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it much more discreet and comfortable than traditional "long" G-J tubes. It is easily hidden under clothing and less likely to be accidentally pulled.

  • Dual-Port System:

    • Gastric Port (White): Used for decompression (venting air or fluid) and administering gastric medications.

    • Jejunal Port (Green): Used for the continuous delivery of enteral nutrition.

  • Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal tip is weighted to help gravity maintain the tube's position in the jejunum and prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach.

  • ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, featuring threaded locks that prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines.
