Key Features
Direct Jejunal Access: This tube is engineered for the specific anatomy of the small intestine. Because the jejunum is narrower and more sensitive than the stomach, the 14 Fr diameter and small balloon are designed to prevent bowel obstruction.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin. This is particularly important for jejunal sites, which can be more prone to "tugging" or irritation from a long-tube style.
Tapered Distal Tip: The tip is designed to be atraumatic, ensuring that it does not irritate the delicate mucosal lining of the small bowel.
High-Clarity Silicone: The high-grade silicone remains flexible and biocompatible, which is essential for the long-term health of the intestinal stoma.
Anti-Reflux Valve: A built-in valve in the head of the button prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Allows for quick position verification via X-ray to ensure the tube has not migrated or displaced.
