A Salem Sump with ENFit is an advanced, dual‐lumen nasogastric (NG) tube designed for efficient gastric decompression, enteral feeding, and medication administration with enhanced safety features. Featuring a primary suction lumen and an air‐vent (pigtail) lumen, this Salem Sump prevents mucosal adhesion and maintains continuous airflow, while the universal ENFit connector ensures a secure, misconnections-proof interface with feeding pumps and syringes.
Key Features & Benefits
Dual-Lumen Design: The large‐bore suction lumen (12–18 French) provides rapid drainage of gastric contents, while the smaller air‐vent pigtail prevents vacuum collapse and tissue injury.
ENFit Connector: Compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, the ENFit tip reduces risk of enteral misconnection, promoting patient safety and regulatory compliance.
Radiopaque Stripe & Graduations: Integrated radiopaque marker and 10 cm depth markings enable accurate X-ray confirmation and continuous insertion‐depth monitoring.
Soft, Flexible Material: Constructed from biocompatible PVC or silicone, the Salem Sump tube offers atraumatic tip design for patient comfort during short- or long-term placement.
Sterile, Single-Use Packaging: Individually wrapped in peel-open trays to maintain sterility, simplify inventory management, and prevent cross-contamination.
Clinical Applications
The Salem Sump with ENFit is ideal for postoperative gastric decompression, gastrointestinal obstruction management, and continuous enteral nutrition. It is widely used in intensive care units, emergency departments, and surgical wards where reliable suction and feeding are critical. The ENFit connector enhances compatibility with all ENFit-equipped feeding pumps and syringes, streamlining clinical workflows.
Choosing a premium Salem Sump with ENFit ensures optimized gastric management, reduced accidental misconnections, and adherence to the highest standards of patient safety and infection control.
