This valve attaches to the vent lumen (the air vent) of the dual‑lumen NG tube and is engineered to allow ambient air ingress while preventing gastric contents from traveling backward into the vent lumen. In doing so, it significantly reduces the risk of soiling patient bedding and contamination of the environment—an especially important safety measure in acute care settings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"122\" data-end=\"198\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eConstructed with patient and clinician convenience in mind, the anti-reflux valve maintains maximum airflow to support continuous venting and gastric decompression while helping to minimize suction‑related mucosal injury. By permitting air inflow when suction is active and blocking backflow of gastric fluid, it optimizes sump functionality and supports safer decompression, reducing ulcer risk even when used for extended duration under supervision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003ePackaged as \u003cstrong data-start=\"12\" data-end=\"50\"\u003e10 sterile valves per case (CS\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e, part number \u003cstrong data-start=\"64\" data-end=\"74\"\u003e266197\u003c\/strong\u003e, the product is compatible with standard Salem Sump or Argyle NG tubes. The single-use design allows for quick application and replacement, helping maintain protocol compliance without compromising patient comfort or clinical workflow. Its simplicity and functionality make it a common component in both inpatient and long-term care settings where reliable gastric venting is necessary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong id=\"docs-internal-guid-9f23d8f7-7fff-837b-0098-0a15d59ac45f\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0527\/8543\/files\/mceclip6_175434539168912faf7511c5402.png?v=1754345393\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Covidien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46661756813537,"sku":"COVI-266197","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0527\/8543\/files\/Shopify_-_2025-07-15T152336.732.jpg?v=1752614649","url":"https:\/\/primismedical.com\/products\/covidien-266197-salem-sump-anti-reflux-valve-cs-10","provider":"Primis Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
