Description

This "button-style" replacement tube is designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric venting and jejunal feeding. It is specifically configured for patients with a 2.0 cm stoma tract who need an extended jejunal tail to ensure stable placement in the small intestine.

Dimensional Breakdown

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

  • 2.0: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 2.0 cm.

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

Key Features

  • Extended 30 cm Jejunal Tail: This length 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.

  • 2.0 cm Stoma Length: Designed for patients with a slightly thicker abdominal wall, ensuring the external bolster sits comfortably against the skin without being too tight, which prevents pressure-related skin breakdown.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discreet and less likely to be accidentally snagged or pulled compared to traditional "long" G-J tubes.

  • Dual-Port Access:

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

    • Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated to 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 gastric migration.

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