Description

The ENFit® Salem Sump™ PVC Tube (18FR, 48IN) is a specialized, double-lumen nasogastric tube designed for safe and efficient gastric decompression, drainage, and enteral feeding. Featuring the standardized ENFit connector, this tube enhances patient safety by reducing the risk of tubing misconnections.

Key Features
Dual-Lumen Design: The tube includes a large-bore lumen for suction and a smaller blue pigtail lumen for venting, which prevents vacuum collapse and protects the stomach lining from injury.
ENFit® Connection System: Compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, ensuring compatibility with enteral feeding pumps and syringes while preventing accidental connection to IV lines.
Radiopaque Sentinel Line™: A radiopaque stripe and Sentinel Eye™ tubing allow for easy identification and verification of tube placement via X-ray.
Optimal Size & Length: 18 French gauge with a 48-inch length, ideal for rapid decompression, irrigating, or administering nutrients in clinical or home settings.
Patient Safety & Convenience: Features centimeter markings for accurate, measurable placement and a sterile, biocompatible PVC construction.
Optional Anti-Reflux Valve: Many models include an integrated anti-reflux valve (ARV) to prevent gastric contents from leaking out of the vent lumen.
