What is a clog zapper?
The Clog Zapper™ (Corpak MedSystems) uses a patented, food-grade powder that the manufacturer calls an “enzyme cocktail” (with acids, buffers, anti-bacterial agents, and metal inhibitors) to clear blocked tubes. It comes premeasured and loaded in a ready-to-use system, and is approved for use with G-, J-, NG-, and NJ-tubes as well as low-profile devices.
How long does it take to agitate a clog zapper?
This powder “cocktail” is mixed with water in a syringe and agitated for 5–7 minutes. The solution is dispensed through a narrow-bore applicator tube which is placed into the feeding tube. Once the solution is instilled wait 30–60 minutes. Take a separate syringe with water and flush the tube to relieve the obstruction. It is recommended that the first time you try the Clog Zapper you do so under a clinician’s supervision.

What is a clearing stem?
The clearing stem model is specific for the length and diameter of the feeding tube.
