Description
This model is a 12 French, 36-inch (91 cm) tube. It features a 3-gram tungsten weight and the modern ENFit safety connector. This configuration is provided without a stylet (guide wire), making it a preferred choice for clinicians who utilize a manual, weighted placement technique to minimize the risk of internal trauma.
Key Features
12 French Large Bore: The larger diameter is ideal for the administration of viscous medications or high-volume formulas, significantly reducing the risk of tube occlusions compared to smaller 8 Fr or 10 Fr sizes.
3-Gram Weighted Tip: Includes a tungsten-weighted bolus to assist the tube in maintaining its position within the stomach and to aid in natural migration.
Stylet-Free Insertion: This tube is intended for placement without a guide wire. It relies on the weight and the structural integrity of the medical-grade polyurethane for insertion, which is often safer for patients with sensitive esophageal or gastric tissues.
ENFit Safety Connector: Equipped with the purple ISO-standard connector. This design is engineered to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines, breathing circuits, or other non-enteral systems.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: High-grade material that is more durable than silicone or PVC. Its strength allows for thinner walls, which maximizes the internal lumen to ensure consistent flow rates.
Anti-Clog Technology: Features an ULTRA* anti-clog bolus tip where the exit port is slightly larger than the internal diameter, helping to prevent the accumulation of formula and medication solids.
