Key Features
6 French "Neonatal-Plus" Diameter: A common step up from the 5 Fr size for neonates and infants who require a slightly larger lumen to improve the flow of breast milk or specialized infant formulas without increasing the tube's footprint too drastically.
15-Inch (38 cm) Length: Sized precisely for the anatomy of neonates and small infants. This short length is essential in the NICU to minimize the amount of external tubing that can be accidentally pulled or caught in equipment.
Anti-IV (AIV) Safety Connector: Features a unique "keyhole" or proprietary shape that will not accept standard Luer-lock syringes. This ensures that only compatible enteral syringes can be used, preventing life-threatening "wrong-route" medication errors.
Non-Weighted (Bolus) Tip: The plain, lightweight tip is preferred for infants because it reduces the risk of pressure on the sensitive gastric lining compared to weighted versions.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger than silicone, this material allows for a larger internal diameter (ID) relative to its external size. It is kink-resistant and does not soften or stretch when exposed to gastric acids.
C-19* Water-Activated Lubricant: The internal lumen is pre-coated with lubricant. When water or saline is flushed through the tube during insertion, the lubricant becomes slippery, allowing the placement stylet to be removed smoothly without displacing the tube from the baby's stomach.
