Cardinal Health Salem Sump Tubes

The double lumen design is the primary function of the Salem Sump Tubes, enabling simultaneous suction drainage and continuous sump venting within a single tube. This configuration enhances efficiency and safety in medical aspiration procedures.

This crucial dual functionality is achieved through two distinct channels:

• Suction Drainage Lumen: Dedicated to the efficient removal of fluids.
• Sump Vent Lumen: This channel is essential for patient protection. By introducing continuous airflow, it prevents the suction channel from collapsing or adhering strongly to the gastric wall, which helps maintain consistent drainage flow and significantly reduces the risk of mucosal tissue damage.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Salem Sump Tubes are available in two material options to accommodate different clinical requirements:

• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Silicone

All variants are sterile and feature a double lumen design for suction drainage and sump venting.

Yes, the tubes feature an X-ray opaque SENTINEL Line with SENTINEL Eye. This design significantly enhances visibility, allowing for easy and accurate radiographic verification of the tube’s position during placement and ongoing monitoring.

The Cardinal Health Salem Sump Tubes are offered in three standard lengths to meet diverse clinical requirements:

• 24 inches (61 cm)
• 36 inches (91 cm)
• 48 inches (122 cm)

These lengths are available across various configurations, including French (FR) sizes ranging from 6 FR up to 18 FR, and material options such as PVC and Silicone.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Salem Sump Tubes feature an integral funnel connector that accepts a removable 5-in-1 adapter, ensuring broad compatibility with various suction systems. This versatility is further enhanced by the integral irrigation funnel, which allows irrigation through the sump vent lumen. Additionally, the funnel end of the vent lumen is designed to function as a protective cap for the 5-in-1 adapter when needed.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Salem Sump Tubes are supplied sterile.

This crucial feature ensures the tubes are ready for immediate use right out of the packaging, supporting high hygiene and safety standards for medical procedures such as gastrointestinal aspiration and decompression.

Key product conditions include:

• They are provided in a sterile condition.
• The product is Factory New.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Salem Sump Tubes feature an integral irrigation funnel. This design allows for convenient irrigation directly through the sump vent lumen, streamlining procedures.

The Salem Sump Tube’s double lumen design is crucial for ensuring continuous drainage and preventing the tube from adhering to the gastric wall.

This functionality is achieved through the dual channel system:

• Suction Drainage Lumen: This primary channel is dedicated to the aspiration of fluids and gas from the stomach.
• Sump Vent Lumen: This secondary channel acts as a continuous air vent. It allows ambient air to enter the tube, which effectively breaks the vacuum effect created by the suction. This mechanism prevents the tube from collapsing or suctioning directly onto the internal gastric tissue, minimizing trauma and ensuring effective, uninterrupted drainage.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Salem Sump Tubes feature multiple integral connection options for high versatility:

• Integral Funnel Connector: This connector accepts a removable 5-in-1 adapter for broad compatibility with various suction setups.
• Irrigation Capability: The design includes an integral irrigation funnel, allowing irrigation directly through the sump vent lumen.
• Capping Function: The funnel end of the vent lumen is designed to function as a cap for the 5-in-1 adapter when required.
• Specialized Variants: Note that some product configurations are available with alternative connections, such as the Kangaroo Multi-functional Port with ENFit Connection.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Salem Sump Tubes feature an X-ray opaque SENTINEL Line with SENTINEL Eye to enhance visibility and positioning accuracy during medical procedures, making it easy to confirm placement.
