Key Features
High-Flow 20 Fr Diameter: The 20 French lumen is significantly wider than the standard 16 or 18 Fr tubes. This makes it the ideal choice for adult patients using fiber-enriched or high-calorie formulas that are prone to clogging smaller tubes.
Dual-Access Hub:
Gastric Port: Allows for the venting of gas and the drainage of stomach secretions to prevent nausea, bloating, and vomiting.
Jejunal Port: Allows for continuous, pump-based feeding directly into the small intestine, bypassing a non-functional or obstructed stomach.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The 30 cm jejunal segment is weighted with tungsten. This weight uses natural peristalsis to help keep the "tail" of the tube deep in the small intestine, preventing it from flipping back into the stomach.
SECUR-LOK Retention Ring:* An external bolster that holds the tube securely against the skin. It is designed with a ventilated base to allow air to circulate around the stoma, which is essential for maintaining skin health.
Radiopaque Stripe: A high-contrast line runs the entire length of the tube, allowing clinicians to confirm the position of both the gastric balloon and the jejunal feeding ports via X-ray.
Medical Description
The 60513 is clinically indicated for adult patients who cannot tolerate any feeding into the stomach but still produce gastric fluids that must be managed.
Common Clinical Scenarios:
Persistent Clogging: When an 18 Fr tube has failed repeatedly due to medication or formula residue.
Severe Gastroparesis: For patients with a "paralyzed" stomach that requires constant venting for comfort while being fed distally.
High Aspiration Risk: Delivering food into the jejunum is the safest method for patients who are likely to inhale stomach contents into their lungs.
Post-Surgical Nutrition: Used after complex esophageal or gastric surgeries to allow the upper GI tract to heal while maintaining nutritional intake.
