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.
