Covidien 8888266262 Salem Sump Silicone Dual Lumen Stomach Tube 16Fr/Ch

This dual-lumen tube is commonly used in hospital and clinical settings for patients requiring gastric decompression, suction, or feeding tube applications. Constructed from medical-grade silicone, the Salem Sump Tube offers durability, flexibility, and ease of use for both healthcare professionals and patients.

Key Features

Dual Lumen Design: The 16Fr/Ch Salem Sump Tube features a unique dual-lumen design, with one lumen for continuous or intermittent suction and the other serving as an air vent. This design helps to prevent tube clogging by maintaining airflow and ensuring that gastric contents are efficiently evacuated. The air vent helps prevent tissue damage that can occur with other types of tubes, improving patient safety.

Soft, Flexible Silicone Construction: Made from high-quality silicone, this stomach tube is flexible, allowing for smooth and easy insertion. Silicone is known for its biocompatibility, ensuring reduced irritation and inflammation, making it suitable for long-term use. The soft and flexible nature of the tube enhances patient comfort, especially for those requiring extended periods of gastric decompression or feeding.

16Fr/Ch Size: The 16Fr/Ch size of the Salem Sump Tube is ideal for adult patients, offering the right balance of size and flexibility for a wide range of applications, from gastric suction to enteral feeding. The 16 French diameter is designed to allow for efficient fluid drainage while maintaining a comfortable fit for the patient.

Improved Patient Safety: The dual-lumen design not only enhances suction efficacy but also helps in reducing the risk of complications such as mucosal damage. The additional air vent lumen ensures that the tube remains patent and prevents excess negative pressure from building up inside the stomach, which can cause injury to the gastric lining. This feature promotes safer use for both short- and long-term treatments.

Efficient Gastric Decompression: The Salem Sump Tube is specifically designed to handle gastric decompression procedures, effectively removing excess gastric fluids or air from the stomach. It is often used in patients who have undergone surgery, suffer from bowel obstructions, or need relief from conditions like bloating or gastric distension. Its efficiency in fluid removal helps in relieving discomfort and promoting faster recovery.

Radiopaque Stripe for Easy Visualization: A radiopaque stripe runs along the length of the tube, enabling easy visualization on X-rays. This feature helps clinicians confirm the correct placement of the tube within the stomach, reducing the risk of improper positioning and enhancing patient safety during tube insertion and management.

Versatile Application: This Salem Sump Silicone Tube is ideal for a variety of clinical settings, including the management of gastrointestinal issues, post-operative care, and acute medical conditions requiring stomach decompression or suction. It is commonly used in emergency care, intensive care units (ICUs), and during endoscopic procedures.

Applications

Gastric Decompression: Used for the removal of excess air, fluid, or gastric contents in patients with bowel obstructions, postoperative recovery, or gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Aspiration and Suction: Ideal for draining gastric contents in patients who need suction for medical conditions like gastric stasis or distention.
Feeding Tube: Can be used as an enteral feeding tube to deliver nutrition to patients who cannot eat orally.
Emergency and ICU Care: Suitable for critical care situations where gastric decompression and suction are necessary for patient stabilization.

The Covidien 8888266262 Salem Sump Silicone Dual Lumen Stomach Tube 16Fr/Ch is a reliable and versatile medical device designed to meet the needs of patients requiring gastric decompression, aspiration, or feeding. Its dual-lumen design, soft silicone material, and radiopaque stripe enhance both the safety and comfort of patients, making it an essential tool in clinical care.
