Key Features
Extra-Long Reach (55"): While standard tubes are 36 or 43 inches, the 55-inch length is designed to reach deep into the jejunum. This is critical for patients with "gastroparesis" (slow stomach emptying) or those at high risk for aspiration who require feeding far past the stomach.
Anti-Clog Bolus: The distal tip is engineered so the exit port is slightly larger than the internal diameter of the tube. This prevents thick formulas or crushed medications from "trapping" at the end, which is the most common cause of tube failure.
Polyurethane Durability: Polyurethane allows for thinner walls than silicone while remaining much stronger. This means the 10 Fr CORFLO* has a larger internal lumen, providing better flow and less chance of kinking despite its significant length.
Flow-Through Stylet: The stylet is designed to allow clinicians to flush the tube or aspirate for gastric/intestinal contents while the wire is still inside, which is essential for verifying correct placement at such a long depth.
C-19™ Lubricant: A water-activated lubricant is applied to the tip and internal lumen. This ensures the 55-inch stylet slides out smoothly after placement without "grabbing" the tube walls.
