Product Description
Overview of the Kangaroo™ Gastrostomy Feeding TubeThe Kangaroo™ Gastrostomy Feeding Tube with Y Ports, sized at 18 Fr, is designed to provide a reliable and efficient means for delivering nutrition enterally. Made from high-quality silicone, this feeding tube is specifically crafted to meet the needs of patients requiring gastrostomy feeding. The Y Ports are a notable feature, allowing for increased versatility and ease of use during nutritional delivery. Whether for short-term or long-term use, this tube ensures a comfortable and efficient feeding experience for individuals.
Key Benefits of Y Ports DesignOne of the standout features of the Kangaroo™ feeding tube is the Y Ports connector, which allows for easy access to the feeding system. This design not only enhances usability but also reduces the risk of accidental disconnections. Furthermore, the Y Ports are incompatible with luer lock or IV connections, significantly lowering the potential for tubing misconnections—a crucial factor that aligns with safety recommendations set by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). This commitment to safety ensures peace of mind for both patients and caregivers.
Customizability and ConvenienceThe replaceable Y-port feature of the Kangaroo™ Gastrostomy Feeding Tube is another advantage that stands out for users. Instead of needing to replace the entire tube, caregivers can simply change out the Y-port as necessary, facilitating a more cost-effective and convenient solution for enteral feeding. This product is designed to be adaptable and practical, making it a preferred choice for the healthcare environment and at home.
Specifications and Quality MaterialConstructed from silicone, the Kangaroo™ Gastrostomy Feeding Tube guarantees durability and flexibility—essential attributes for any feeding tube. The 18 Fr French size ensures compatibility with various feeding setups while a 20 mL capacity supports adequate nutritional delivery. Overall, this feeding tube exemplifies high-quality manufacturing and thoughtful design aimed at ensuring optimal patient care and support during enteral feeding.
