Additional Information for Jejunal Catheter
Jejunal catheters are medical devices used for enteral feeding, specifically for delivering nutrition directly into the jejunum, which is the middle part of the small intestine. These catheters are typically made of flexible materials such as silicone or polyurethane and are inserted through the abdominal wall into the jejunum.
Jejunal catheters are commonly used in patients who are unable to consume food orally or have difficulty with digestion and absorption in the stomach or upper small intestine. They are often used in cases of gastrointestinal disorders, malnutrition, or when the patient is unable to tolerate oral feeding.
These catheters are designed to be long-term or permanent solutions for enteral feeding. They are typically placed by a healthcare professional using imaging guidance, such as fluoroscopy or endoscopy, to ensure proper positioning within the jejunum.
Jejunal catheters are available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different patient needs. They may have features such as balloon retention systems to secure the catheter in place or anti-reflux valves to prevent stomach contents from flowing back into the catheter.
It's important to note that the use of jejunal catheters requires proper training and monitoring by healthcare professionals to ensure safe and effective enteral feeding.
