Description
Medical Description
The 30 cm jejunal length is a common choice for average-sized adults. This length ensures the tip of the tube passes through the pylorus and rests in a stable position within the jejunum, preventing the "migration" of the tube back into the stomach.

Jejunal Length: 30 cm (The length extending from the stomach into the small intestine)

Components: Dual-port hub (Gastric/Jejunal), SECUR-LOK* external retention ring

Key Features
Dual-Port System: Features two separate, clearly labeled ports:
Gastric Port: Allows for the drainage of stomach acid and air (decompression).
Jejunal Port: Used for the delivery of nutrition and medication directly into the small intestine.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The 30 cm jejunal segment is weighted with tungsten. This helps maintain the tube's position within the jejunum and aids clinicians during fluoroscopic or endoscopic placement.
High-Flow Design: Both ports are designed to maximize flow rates and reduce the likelihood of tube clogging, which is common with longer, narrow-bore tubes.
SECUR-LOK Retention Ring:* An external bolster that holds the tube securely at the skin level. It is designed to sit slightly elevated to allow air to circulate around the stoma, promoting skin health and reducing irritation.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line runs the entire length of the silicone tube, ensuring easy visualization under X-ray to confirm that the 30 cm jejunal tail is properly positioned.
