FAQ

• What is the benefit of the dual lumen design? The dual lumen design supports safer continuous and intermittent gastric suctioning. One lumen handles suction and related tasks, while the vent lumen draws in atmospheric air to help equalize vacuum pressure.
• What can the large lumen be used for? The large lumen is used for suction of gastric contents, decompression, irrigation, and medication delivery.
• Why does this tube have a vent lumen? The smaller vent lumen allows atmospheric air to enter and equalize vacuum pressure in the stomach once contents have been emptied. That helps prevent the suction eyelets from adhering to the stomach lining.
• What size is this stomach tube? This tube is 12 Fr. and 48 inch long.
• Is this tube sterile? Yes. This stomach tube is sterile.
