Key Features
Anti-IV V2 Safety Connector: Features a specialized Y-port designed to reject standard Luer-lock or Luer-slip syringes. This legacy safety mechanism prevents the accidental administration of enteral formula into intravenous lines.
8 French Small-Bore Diameter: The smallest standard adult size, providing maximum patient comfort and reducing the risk of nasal mucosal irritation or pressure necrosis.
3-Gram Tungsten Weight: A light distal weight that helps the tube settle in the gastric floor and reduces the likelihood of the tip migrating upward into the esophagus.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. The stylet is essential for providing the necessary rigidity to guide this highly flexible 8 Fr tube during insertion.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: High-grade, radiopaque material that is stronger than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen to maximize the flow of formula in a small-bore tube.
C-19* Water-Activated Lubricant: Internal and external coatings that become highly lubricious when wet, facilitating a smoother insertion and easier removal of the stylet once the tube is in place.
Radiopaque and Marked: The entire tube and weighted tip are visible on X-ray. Centimeter markings along the length allow for easy monitoring of the tube's position.
