Salem Sump Nasogastric Tube

A Salem Sump Nasogastric Tube is a dual-lumen, large-bore catheter engineered for efficient gastric decompression, enteral feeding, and medication administration. Featuring a primary suction lumen alongside an air-vent (pigtail) lumen, this design prevents mucosal suction injury and maintains continuous airflow, reducing the risk of vacuum collapse. Constructed from biocompatible PVC or silicone, Salem Sump nasogastric tubes offer flexibility and patient comfort during both short- and long-term use.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dual-Lumen Design: The larger suction lumen (12–18 French) ensures high-flow drainage of gastric contents, while the smaller air-vent pigtail prevents tissue adherence and blockage.

  
  

• Radiopaque Strip & Graduations: Embedded radiopaque line and centimeter depth markings allow precise placement verification via X-ray and continuous monitoring of insertion depth.

  
  

• Multifunctional Connectivity: Standard Luer-lock connectors facilitate seamless attachment to suction canisters, feeding pumps, and pressure transducers—streamlining procedures and reducing line changes.

  
  

• Soft, Flexible Material: Smooth, atraumatic tip and pliable tubing minimize nasal and esophageal irritation, enhancing patient tolerance and reducing procedural discomfort.

  
  

• Sterile & Single-Use: Individually packaged in peel-open trays to ensure sterility, prevent cross-contamination, and simplify inventory management.

Clinical Applications

Salem Sump nasogastric tubes are indispensable in postoperative care for gastric decompression, management of intestinal obstructions, and continuous enteral nutrition. They are widely used in emergency departments, intensive care units, and surgical wards where rapid, reliable suction and feeding capabilities are critical. The dual-lumen architecture supports simultaneous aspiration and irrigation without interrupting drainage.

By choosing premium Salem Sump nasogastric tubes, healthcare providers can optimize gastric management protocols, enhance patient safety and comfort, and maintain stringent infection control standards across all care settings.
