Key Features
ANTI-IV* Safety Connector: The proximal Y-port is physically incompatible with standard Luer-lock or Luer-slip syringes. This is a critical safety barrier to prevent the accidental injection of enteral nutrition into an intravenous line.
12 French Diameter Advantage: The larger 12 Fr size is often preferred for adult patients to reduce the risk of clogs associated with crushed medications or fiber-rich formulas.
Polyurethane Durability: Polyurethane is significantly stronger than silicone. This allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen, which improves flow and resists collapsing during aspiration.
Bowed Anti-Clog Tip: The distal bolus features a unique design where the outlet port is larger than the internal diameter of the tube, preventing the "trap" effect where solids accumulate at the tip.
Flow-Through Stylet: This stylet allows clinicians to aspirate for gastric contents or flush the tube while the wire is still inside, aiding in placement verification.
C-19™ Lubricant: A water-activated lubricant on the tip and internal lumen facilitates smooth insertion and easy stylet removal.
