Key Features
Dual-Port Design: Allows for simultaneous access to two distinct anatomical areas. The Gastric port is used to suction or vent the stomach, while the Jejunal port allows for the continuous delivery of nutrition or medication into the small intestine.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal jejunal tip is weighted with tungsten to help maintain the tube’s position within the small bowel and to assist the clinician during fluoroscopic or endoscopic placement.
High-Grade Silicone Construction: The medical-grade silicone is designed for patient comfort and longevity, reducing the risk of skin irritation at the stoma site compared to PVC tubes.
SECUR-LOK Retention Ring:* This external bolster secures the tube at the skin level. It is designed to allow air to circulate around the stoma, which is critical for preventing moisture buildup and skin breakdown.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line runs the entire length of the tube, allowing for quick verification of the 22 cm jejunal tail's position via X-ray.
Large Internal Lumens: The 18 Fr diameter provides larger internal channels than the 16 Fr models, which helps reduce the frequency of tube clogging, especially when administering thicker formulas or medications.
