Description
This model represents the longest jejunal tail length available in the 16 French series. It is a "button-style" replacement tube designed for patients who need the discreetness of a low-profile device but require the feeding tip to reach significantly further into the small intestine.
Dimensional Breakdown
16: The tube has a 16 French outer diameter.
1.5: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 1.5 cm.
45: The jejunal (distal) length is 45 cm, measured from the top of the gastric balloon to the weighted tip.
Key Features
Extended 45 cm Jejunal Tail: This extra-long length is specialized for patients with unique anatomical requirements or those who have had high-output reflux or tube migration issues with shorter 30 cm models.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, allowing for greater patient mobility and comfort. It is easily concealed under clothing and reduces the risk of accidental removal.
Dual-Port Functionality:
Gastric Port (White): For decompression, venting, or gastric medication delivery.
Jejunal Port (Green): For continuous enteral nutrition directly into the jejunum.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Helps gravity maintain the tube's position deep within the small bowel and prevents it from moving back into the stomach.
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards to prevent accidental connections with non-enteral medical systems.
