Key Features
Clear Visibility: The transparent polyurethane is a significant advantage in pediatric settings, where monitoring for changes in gastric output or ensuring the tube is clear of medication residue is critical.
Polyurethane Strength: Polyurethane is more durable than silicone. This allows the 8 Fr tube to have a larger internal diameter (lumen) relative to its size, reducing the frequency of clogs from thick pediatric formulas or medications.
Atraumatic Design: The distal tip is rounded and smoothed to be as gentle as possible on delicate nasal and esophageal tissues during insertion and long-term placement.
Centimeter Markings: The tube is printed with clear depth markings to help the care team verify that the tube has not migrated or been pulled by the patient.
