Description
Unlike the MIC-KEY "button" tubes we previously discussed, this is a long, flexible tube intended for nasogastric or nasoenteric (nose-to-stomach or nose-to-intestine) feeding. It is often referred to as a "yellow tube" due to its distinct color-coding.
Key Features
Anti-IV Connector: This specific model features a proprietary yellow connector designed to prevent accidental connection to intravenous (IV) lines, enhancing patient safety in a clinical setting.
Note: This model is not an ENFit connector. If your facility has transitioned to the ENFit standard, you would need an adapter or the ENFit version of this tube.
Polyurethane Material: Constructed from high-quality medical-grade polyurethane, which is stronger and less likely to collapse or kink than silicone, allowing for a thinner tube wall and a larger internal lumen.
Clog-Resistant "Anti-Clog" Tip: Features a unique distal tip design meant to reduce the accumulation of formula and medication, which helps prevent tube blockages.
Radiopaque: The entire tube is visible under X-ray, allowing clinicians to verify the exact location of the tip (stomach vs. lung vs. small intestine) before starting a feeding.
Clear Markings: The tube is marked with centimeter graduations to help monitor for tube migration or displacement.
