Key Features
Dual-Port Functionality: Separate gastric and jejunal ports allow for simultaneous stomach decompression (drainage/venting) and delivery of nutrition/medication into the small intestine.
Tungsten-Weighted Jejunal Portion: The 30 cm jejunal segment is weighted with tungsten to maintain the tube's position in the small bowel and assist during the initial placement procedure.
Multiple Exit Ports: Features multiple ports at the distal end to improve flow rates and significantly reduce the risk of tube clogging.
SECUR-LOK Retention Ring:* An external bolster that holds the tube securely at the skin level while allowing air to circulate around the stoma to promote skin health.
Radiopaque Stripe: A high-visibility stripe runs the entire length of the tube to facilitate quick verification of the 30 cm tail's position via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Medical Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for patient comfort and durability during long-term use.
Medical Description
The 30 cm length is the clinical standard for adult patients. It ensures the feeding tip bypasses the pylorus and rests deep enough in the jejunum to prevent the "migration" of the tube back into the stomach.
