The nasojejunal feeding tube (NJ tube) is designed for safe and effective post-pyloric enteral nutrition, delivering nutrients directly into the small intestine to significantly reduce aspiration risk.
Compared with traditional nasogastric tubes, this nasojejunal feeding tube bypasses the stomach, minimizing reflux and improving feeding tolerance in critically ill patients.
Manufactured from medical-grade polyurethane, the tube offers excellent flexibility, durability, and patient comfort for medium to long-term use. The bullet tip design ensures smooth insertion and improves placement success rate, making it ideal for ICU and clinical applications.
Bedside Convenience: No need for expensive fluoroscopy or endoscopy suites; designed for simple manual bedside placement.
Reduced Complications: Lower incidence of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension by avoiding direct gastric stimulation.
Cost-Efficient: Achieve the same clinical outcomes as top-tier international brands at a more competitive manufacturing price point.
Q
What is the difference between NJ tube and NG tube?
A
NJ tubes deliver nutrition to the small intestine, reducing aspiration risk, while NG tubes deliver to the stomach.
Q
How long can a nasojejunal tube remain in place?
A
Typically, it can remain in place for up to 30 days depending on clinical conditions.
Q
How does the Hydrophilic Coating assist in patient care?
A
Our NJ tubes feature a premium hydrophilic coating on both the internal and external surfaces. Once activated, the coating creates an ultra-low friction surface, allowing for smoother insertion and easier removal of the guidewire. This minimizes mucosal trauma and improves overall patient tolerance during the procedure.
Q
Can this feeding tube be clearly visualized under X-ray?
A
Yes, absolutely. The tube is designed with a full-length radiopaque stripe (fully radiopaque body options available). This ensures high-contrast visibility under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to precisely verify and document the exact position of the distal tip within the small bowel.
Q
Why is Medical-Grade TPU preferred over traditional PVC?
A
We use high-quality Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), which is DEHP-free and highly biocompatible. Unlike PVC, TPU remains flexible and softens at body temperature, conforming to the patient's anatomy. This allows for a longer safe indwelling time (up to 30 days) while reducing the risk of tube kinking or hardening.
