Key Features
Dual-Port System: Features two separate, clearly labeled ports. The Gastric port allows for the venting of air or suctioning of gastric juices, while the Jejunal port is dedicated to continuous enteral feeding.
Large-Bore 22 Fr Diameter: This is the most robust size available, making it ideal for patients who require thick formulas or multiple medications, as the larger lumen is significantly more resistant to occlusion.
Maximum 45 cm Length: The 45 cm jejunal segment is designed to pass through the pylorus and sit distal to the Ligament of Treitz. This depth is critical for preventing the "retrograde migration" of the tube back into the stomach.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal jejunal tip is weighted with tungsten to maintain its position in the small bowel and to assist the clinician during placement under fluoroscopy.
SECUR-LOK Retention Ring:* An external bolster that holds the tube at the skin level. It is designed to sit slightly off the skin to allow air circulation, which is essential for maintaining stoma health.
High-Visibility Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line runs the entire length of the tube, allowing for easy verification of the tube’s position via X-ray.
