About Us
A Salem Sump NG Tube Feeding system is a versatile enteral nutrition solution engineered to deliver liquid diets and medications directly into the stomach while simultaneously preventing gastric distention. Featuring a dual-lumen, large-bore catheter design, this nasogastric tube combines a primary feeding lumen with an air-vent (pigtail) lumen to maintain continuous airflow, minimize mucosal suction injury, and reduce aspiration risk. Constructed from biocompatible PVC or silicone, the Salem Sump NG tube feeding set offers both flexibility and patient comfort during short-term or long-term nutritional support.
Key Features & Benefits
Dual-Lumen Design: The main feeding lumen (12–18 French) accommodates high-volume enteral nutrition and medication administration, while the secondary air-vent pigtail prevents vacuum collapse and mucosal adherence.
Atraumatic Tip: Soft, rounded distal tip reduces nasal and esophageal irritation, improving patient tolerance during insertion and prolonged dwell times.
Radiopaque Marker & Graduations: Embedded radiopaque stripe and centimeter depth markings facilitate accurate X-ray placement confirmation and ongoing monitoring of insertion depth, ensuring proper tube positioning for safe feeding and gastric decompression.
Universal Connectors: Standard Luer-lock fittings on both lumens enable secure attachment to feeding pumps, syringes, and pressure monitors without leaks or misconnections.
Sterile, Single-Use Packaging: Individually wrapped trays maintain sterility, streamline inventory management, and eliminate cross-contamination risks in busy clinical environments.
Clinical Applications
Salem Sump NG tube feeding is ideal for patients with dysphagia, neurological impairment, critical illness, or postoperative nutritional needs. It supports continuous or bolus feeding protocols in intensive care units, surgical wards, and long-term care facilities. By combining reliable enteral nutrition delivery with effective gastric decompression, this system helps maintain gastrointestinal function, optimize caloric intake, and reduce aspiration pneumonia risk.
In summary, the Salem Sump NG Tube Feeding system delivers a safe, efficient, and patient-friendly solution for enteral nutrition and gastric decompression. Its dual-lumen design, atraumatic tip, and radiopaque markers ensure accurate placement and continuous airflow, while universal connectors and sterile packaging streamline clinical workflows. By integrating feeding and decompression functions in one device, healthcare providers can enhance patient outcomes, reduce procedural complexity, and uphold the highest standards of infection control.
