Description
Key Features
Surgical Precision: Designed for initial placement in the operating room, providing surgeons with the specific trocars and cannulas needed to establish a stable stoma and position the jejunal tail correctly.
Simultaneous Access: Features a dual-port hub that allows the stomach to be vented or drained (gastric decompression) while the patient receives continuous nutrition into the small intestine (jejunal feeding).
Deep Jejunal Placement: The 45 cm length ensures the feeding tip is positioned well past the Ligament of Treitz, which is critical for preventing the reflux of formula back into the stomach.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The jejunal segment is weighted with tungsten to maintain its position and prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach due to peristalsis.
Atraumatic Design: The tapered distal tip and high-grade silicone construction minimize tissue trauma during the surgical insertion process.
Medical Description
The 0260-16 is clinically indicated for patients who require a new, surgically created gastro-jejunal access point. It is used for those who cannot tolerate gastric feeding due to gastroparesis, gastric outlet obstruction, or severe aspiration risk.
