Description
This "button-style" replacement tube is the standard choice for patients who require simultaneous gastric venting and jejunal feeding. It is designed for patients with a 1.7 cm stoma tract who need a standard-length jejunal tail to ensure stable nutrition delivery.
Dimensional Breakdown
16: The tube has a 16 French outer diameter.
1.7: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 1.7 cm.
22: The jejunal (distal) length is 22 cm, measured from the gastric balloon to the tip.
Key Features
Standard Jejunal Length: The 22 cm length is the most common size for adults, providing sufficient reach past the Ligament of Treitz to ensure the tube remains in the small intestine during normal movement.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin to reduce the risk of accidental snagging and to improve patient body image, as it is easily hidden under clothing.
Dual-Port Functionality:
Gastric Port (White): Specifically for decompressing the stomach (venting) or administering medications that require gastric absorption.
Jejunal Port (Green): Specifically for continuous enteral feeding into the small bowel.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted to help maintain proper positioning and prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach (retrograde migration).
ENFit Safety Connectors:* These ports are compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, ensuring they only connect to enteral-specific syringes and feeding sets.
