Description
This is the longest version of the 16 French, 1.7 cm stoma series. It is a "button-style" replacement tube designed for patients who need the discretion of a low-profile device but require the feeding tip to reach significantly further into the small intestine to ensure stable nutrition.
Dimensional Breakdown
16: The tube has a 16 French outer diameter.
1.7: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 1.7 cm.
45: The jejunal (distal) length is 45 cm, measured from the top of the gastric balloon to the weighted tip.
Key Features
Extra-Long 45 cm Jejunal Tail: This length is specialized for adult patients with unique anatomical requirements or those who have had high-output reflux or tube migration issues with shorter 30 cm models.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, allowing for greater patient mobility and comfort. It is easily concealed under clothing and reduces the risk of accidental removal compared to standard "long" tubes.
Dual-Port Functionality:
Gastric Port (White): For decompression, venting, or gastric medication delivery.
Jejunal Port (Green): For continuous enteral nutrition directly into the jejunum.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Helps gravity maintain the tube's position deep within the small bowel and prevents "retrograde migration" (the tail moving back into the stomach).
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards to prevent accidental connections with non-enteral medical systems.
