Description

This model is a replacement "button" tube for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression and jejunal feeding. It is specifically designed for patients with a 1.7 cm stoma tract who need a longer jejunal tail for stable placement deep in the small intestine.

Dimensional Breakdown

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

  • 1.7: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 1.7 cm.

  • 30: The jejunal (distal) length is 30 cm, measured from the gastric balloon to the weighted tip.

Key Features

  • Extended Jejunal Reach: The 30 cm tail is typically chosen for taller patients or those whose anatomy requires the feeding tip to be placed further past the Ligament of Treitz to prevent the tube from "flipping" back into the stomach.

  • Low-Profile Design: The external bolster sits flush against the skin. This discreet design is less likely to be snagged on clothing and provides a more comfortable experience for active patients compared to traditional "long" tubes.

  • Dual-Port System:

    • Gastric Port (White): Used for removing air or fluid from the stomach (venting) or administering gastric medications.

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

  • Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted to help maintain its position within the jejunum and resist migration caused by stomach contractions.

  • ENFit Safety Connectors:* Features threaded ports that comply with ISO 80369-3 standards, ensuring only enteral-specific sets can be connected.
