Description

This "button-style" replacement tube is designed for patients who need a larger diameter tube and have a slightly thicker abdominal wall. It provides a standard-length jejunal tail for consistent feeding into the small intestine.

Dimensional Breakdown

  • 18: The tube has an 18 French outer diameter. The larger lumen compared to 16 Fr models helps prevent clogging when using high-calorie or fiber-enriched formulas.

  • 1.7: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 1.7 cm, providing a comfortable fit for patients whose stoma tract is deeper than the standard 1.5 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 tail is the most common size used for adults, ensuring the feeding tip reaches past the duodenum and sits securely in the jejunum.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin. This discreet profile is much easier to manage than traditional "long" tubes, reducing the risk of the tube catching on clothes or being accidentally pulled.

  • Dual-Port Functionality:

    • Gastric Port (White): Used for decompression (venting) and gastric medication delivery.

    • Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated for continuous enteral feeding.

  • Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The end of the jejunal tail is weighted to help maintain its position and resist "flipping" back into the stomach.

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