Description
This is the longest jejunal length available in the 16 French, 1.5 cm stoma series. It is designed for patients who require the tube to sit flush against the skin but need the feeding tip to reach deep into the small intestine to prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach.
Dimensional Breakdown
16: The tube has a 16 French outer diameter.
1.5: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 1.5 cm.
30: The jejunal (distal) length is 30 cm, measured from the gastric balloon to the tip.
Key Features
Maximum Jejunal Reach: The 30 cm tail is specifically intended for taller patients or those with gastric anatomy that requires the feeding tip to be placed further past the Ligament of Treitz to ensure stable, continuous nutrition.
Low-Profile Design: Unlike standard "long" tubes, this button-style device sits flat against the abdomen, making it easier to conceal under clothes and less prone to catching on objects.
Dual-Port Access:
Gastric Port (White): Allows for the removal of air or fluid (venting) and the delivery of medications to the stomach.
Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated to the delivery of enteral nutrition directly into the small bowel.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted to assist with placement and to help prevent "retrograde migration" (the tube tail flipping back into the stomach).
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Features threaded ports that comply with ISO 80369-3 standards, ensuring that only enteral-specific syringes and feeding sets can be connected.
