Key Features
Stabilized Placement: The 1.5-gram tungsten weight helps anchor the tube in the stomach. This is particularly useful for active infants or those with reflux, where a non-weighted tube might easily migrate into the esophagus.
Large Lumen Efficiency: The 8 French diameter allows for the delivery of higher-viscosity breast milk or specialty formulas that may be prone to clogging in smaller 5 Fr or 6 Fr tubes.
Anti-Clog Technology: The "Ultra" bolus tip features an exit port slightly larger than the internal diameter of the tube. This design prevents solids and medication residue from accumulating at the distal tip.
Polyurethane Strength: Polyurethane is more durable and kink-resistant than silicone. This allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen, ensuring maximum flow rates for the patient.
Flow-Through Stylet: The stainless steel stylet allows for flushing and aspiration while the wire is still in place, which is critical for verifying placement via pH or air insufflation during the insertion process.
