Description

A balloon‑retained, single‑lumen silicone jejunal feeding tube designed for delivery of enteral nutrition and medications into the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum. Intended for placement through an existing gastric stoma when gastric feeding is not suitable. Suitable for adult and pediatric patients, it supports clinical scenarios such as inadequate gastric absorption, intestinal motility disorders, gastric outlet obstruction, severe gastro‑oesophageal reflux, aspiration risk, or post upper‑GI surgery (e.g., oesophagectomy, partial gastrectomy).

Placement Options

• Endoscopic (under endoscopic guidance)
• Radiologic (under fluoroscopic guidance)
• Surgical placement
• Replacement via an established stoma tract

Design & Key Features

• Medical‑grade silicone tube with internal retention balloon
• Single jejunal feeding access port with ENFit connector labeled “Jejunal”
• Separate white balloon port labeled “BAL” for inflation/deflation (French size printed on BAL port)
• SECUR‑LOK external retention ring for adjustable external stabilization
• Radiopaque stripe along tube length and centimeter markings for placement verification and monitoring
• Trimmable distal tip to meet patient‑specific length requirements
• Single‑lumen configuration; medications may be administered via the jejunal port per clinical practice

Sizes & Specifications

• Outer diameters: 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 Fr
• Standard jejunal length: 51 cm (measured from distal aspect of the retention balloon to the tip); distal end may be trimmed
• Balloon fill volumes: 12 Fr = 2–3 mL; 14–24 Fr = 7–10 mL
• Ports: 1 feeding port (ENFit “Jejunal”); 1 balloon port (“BAL”)

Materials & Safety

• Tube and balloon: medical‑grade silicone
• Radiopaque stripe for imaging visibility
• Does not contain natural rubber latex, DEHP, DBP, or BBP
• MRI‑safe
• Sterile (gamma sterilized)
• Single‑use; prescription only

Packaging

• Supplied as a box of 2 units; each unit individually pouched

Contraindications & Precautions (not exhaustive)

• Contraindications include ascites, colonic interposition, portal hypertension, peritonitis, and morbid obesity
• Single‑use only; do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize
• Use according to institutional protocols and clinical judgment

Clarifications

• Jejunal (J) feeding tube only; not a gastric‑jejunal (GJ) system
• Single lumen; no separate medication port beyond the jejunal feeding port
