Salem Sump Stomach Tube

A Salem Sump Stomach Tube is a dual‐lumen gastric catheter designed for efficient stomach decompression, enteral feeding, and medication delivery. Its unique construction features a larger suction lumen for continuous drainage of gastric contents and a smaller air‐vent (pigtail) lumen to prevent mucosal suction injury and tube occlusion. Constructed from biocompatible PVC or silicone, the Salem Sump stomach tube offers flexibility, durability, and patient comfort during short‐term or prolonged use.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dual‐Lumen Design: The primary lumen (12–18 French) ensures high‐flow suction of fluid and air, while the secondary air‐vent lumen maintains continuous airflow to prevent vacuum collapse and tissue adherence.

  
  

• Radiopaque Strip & Graduations: Integrated radiopaque line and centimeter depth markings facilitate accurate X-ray placement confirmation and ongoing monitoring of insertion depth.

  
  

• Atraumatic Tip: Soft, rounded distal tip minimizes mucosal irritation and reduces the risk of nasal and gastric wall injury during insertion and dwell time.

  
  

• Universal Connectors: Standard Luer-lock connectors on both lumens ensure easy attachment to suction canisters, feeding pumps, and irrigation syringes without leaks.

  
  

• Sterile, Single-Use Packaging: Individually wrapped in peel-open trays for guaranteed sterility, streamlined inventory management, and prevention of cross-contamination.

Clinical Applications

Salem Sump stomach tubes are indispensable in postoperative gastric decompression, management of intestinal obstructions, and initiation of enteral nutrition. They are commonly used in surgical wards, intensive care units (ICUs), and emergency departments where reliable, continuous gastric drainage and feeding are critical. The dual‐lumen architecture allows simultaneous aspiration and irrigation, reducing the need for multiple tube exchanges.

Choosing a high-quality Salem Sump Stomach Tube ensures efficient gastric decompression, enhanced patient comfort, and adherence to best practices in digestive tract care.
