Product description:
Made of medical-grade polyurethane from Lubrizol
Product Features:
An all-in-one catheter for GI surgery and ICU that enables simultaneous feeding, decompression, and ventilation through a single insertion, utilizing three independent functional lumens.
Jejunal Lumen (Distal): Feeds into the jejunum.
Gastric Lumen (Proximal): Aspirates fluids/gas from the stomach.
Ventilation Lumen (Air Vent): Balances pressure during suction to prevent gastric mucosal damage.
Clinical application:
Post-Operative GI Surgery
Gastric-vent lumens reduce anastomotic tension after Whipple or gastrectomy, while the jejunal lumen delivers early nutrition.
Acute Severe Pancreatitis
Jejunal feeding ensures pancreatic rest during paralytic ileus, while the gastric-vent loop lowers abdominal pressure.
Critical Care & Gastroenteritis
Prevents aspiration pneumonia in ICU patients with delayed gastric emptying by feeding the small intestine and draining retention.
Mechanical Ventilation
The air-vent breaks the vacuum to ensure continuous decompression, reversing positive-pressure gastric distension and maintaining lung compliance.
Post-GI Bleeding Stabilization
The atmospheric vent eliminates localized vacuum forces, preventing tissue re-tearing during decompression for recovering hemorrhage patients.
Indwelling position: Usually works as a postpyloric feeding tube.
Available sizes: 14Fr and 16Fr.
