Dual lumen tube allows safer continuous and intermittent gastric suctioning. Large lumen allows for easy suction of gastric contents, decompression, irrigation, and medication delivery. The smaller vent lumen allows for atmospheric air to be drawn into the tube and equalizes the vacuum pressure in the stomach once the contents have been emptied, preventing the suction eyelets from adhering to and damaging the stomach lining.
Sharn/MarketLab-111389 Salem Sump Tube is a medical-grade gastric suction tube designed for effective gastric decompression and drainage in adult patients. Measuring 48 inches in length and sized at 16 French, this tube supports reliable suction while maintaining patient comfort during short- or extended-term use.
The Salem Sump design features a dual-lumen configuration that allows continuous suction while helping reduce the risk of mucosal adherence. This makes it suitable for use in hospitals, emergency departments, intensive care units, and surgical recovery settings.
Supplied as a single-use device, the tube supports infection control protocols and minimizes cross-contamination. The latex-free construction helps accommodate patients with sensitivities, while the 10-pack format supports efficient clinical stocking.
