A Gastric-Jejunal Tube, also known as a GJ-Tube, has two ports: the gastric port (g-port) goes to the stomach and is most commonly used for delivering medication, draining excess fluids, or venting air; the jejunal port (j-port) goes to a section of the small intestine called the jejunum and is used to deliver nutrition.

Detailed Features

The TLC® Self-Retaining Retractor System allows surgeons to retract and secure delicate soft tissue for a wide variety of procedures. The self-retaining design of the TLC® system creates an organized surgical site which allows the surgeons to focus on the procedure and provides O.R. staff the freedom to perform other tasks. The continuous, stable retraction provided by TLC® Stays eliminates the need to unnecessarily adjust stay positioning during a procedure. TLC® retraction is continuous and lower profile when compared to manual retraction.

Faster Deployment

Faster Deployment

Hinges adjust to the patient’s anatomy in an instant with the malleable function of the TLC® Retractors. There are no thumbscrews to adjust or obstruct the procedure.

Eliminate Slippage

Eliminate Slippage

TLC® ribbed stays provide a secure fit, virtually eliminating slippage and risk of popping out.

Controlled Versatility

Video Demo

Developed for surgeon ease of use, the ATLAS™ U-Stitch uses exclusive magnetic technology to quickly and safely form a u-stitch within the hollow viscus. After proper placement, the organ is secured to the abdominal wall. Designed with patient comfort and safety in mind, this device was created to decrease the possibility of adverse events during – pexy procedures.

 

  • Increased simplicity of placing a u-stitch.
  • Strong securement without metal.
  • Consistent and precise suture placement with fixed needle spacing.
  • 36% smaller area, 20% lower profile, and > 77% softer bumper versus the leading competitor.1
Simple Feature

Simple Feature

The ATLAS™ U-Stitch builds upon decades of hollow viscus attachment techniques – and improves them for modern surgical practice. This innovative suture delivery system utilizes magnets to form a u-stitch within a hollow viscus to secure the organ to the abdominal wall. After proper placement, only the suture remains, which then can be tied over a soft, silicone bumper – completely metal-free. Following this procedure, an appropriate interventional catheter will be placed according to patient needs.

This device is designed to provide a more broadly applicable and faster alternative to existing manual u-stitches and t-fasteners.

In the abdominal cavity, there are several hollow viscera, including the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, and bladder. Each of these organs has an associated -pexy procedure and resultant applicable interventional catheter that may form part of a treatment plan to address patient needs. In pursuit of placing an interventional catheter, it may be helpful to attach the chosen hollow viscus to the abdominal wall. By approximating the organ to the abdominal wall and securing it, the clinician may then begin to create the needed stoma tract.

In Saini et al. it was found that adhering the viscus to the abdominal wall ahead of the placement of an interventional catheter, compared to not performing the pexy, helped ensure tube patency and prevent possible adverse events such as peritonitis.2

Specially Designed Needles

The ATLAS™ U-Stitch features two parallel introducer needles made of medical-grade stainless steel with cutting-style tips. These tips are designed to reduce the need to nick the skin before insertion of the device. Additionally, these needles feature an anti-coring heel designed to avoid coring of the fascia during insertion.

Comfortable Bumper

This soft and flexible silicone bumper can be used to separate the suture knot from the top of the skin. Its low-profile design is meant to maximize comfort for the patient.

Exclusive Suture

The suture left after placement is a 3-0 braided permanent suture. This suture is FDA cleared to remain in place for up to 14 days following placement and does not lose strength over the placement period.

Safety Aspects

The device has safety features that guard against accidental early deployments and associated risks. These include a needle cover to sheath the needle tips and a device lock to prevent depression of the advancement hub prematurely.
