Description
Key Features
10-Gram Tungsten Weight: The distal end features a heavy 10g weight. This utilizes peristalsis to help "pull" the tube past the stomach and into the small intestine, which is critical for patients with gastroparesis or high reflux risk.
10 French Mid-Bore: Provides an ideal balance between patient comfort and functional flow, allowing for the delivery of standard enteral formulas while resisting clogs.
36-Inch Length: A specialized length for pediatric patients or smaller adults, offering enough reach for small-bowel access without the excessive external tubing of a standard 43-inch adult tube.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. The stylet provides the necessary rigidity and "pushability" to navigate the tube into the small bowel; it is removed once placement is confirmed.
Universal / Legacy Connector: This specific part number usually features the legacy "Christmas tree" or stepped connector.
Note: If you require the purple ISO-standard ENFit® version, the part number is usually 40-5361.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Medical-grade, radiopaque material that is stronger than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen.
Water-Activated Lubricant: The internal lumen and tip are coated with a lubricant that becomes highly slippery when wet, facilitating a smoother insertion and easier stylet removal.
