Description
This model is a 10 French, 43-inch (109 cm) tube. It features a 3-gram tungsten weight and is equipped with the ENFit safety connector. Notably, this specific configuration is provided without a stylet (guide wire), making it a popular choice for clinicians who prefer a "blind" or manual weighted placement to avoid the potential risks associated with metal guide wires.
Key Features
3-Gram Weighted Tip: The tungsten-weighted bolus helps the tube maintain its position in the stomach and can assist in the natural migration toward the pylorus.
Stylet-Free Insertion: This tube is intended for placement without a metal stylet. It utilizes the flexibility and strength of the polyurethane combined with the weighted tip for insertion, reducing the risk of internal trauma.
ENFit Safety Connector: Features the purple ISO-standard connector designed to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines or other non-enteral medical devices.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Medical-grade polyurethane construction is stronger and more durable than silicone. This allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen, maximizing the flow of formula and medication.
Anti-Clog Technology: Includes the ULTRA* anti-clog bolus at the distal tip. The exit port is designed to be slightly larger than the internal diameter of the tube to prevent solids from occluding the tip.
Radiopaque and Marked: The tube is fully visible under X-ray and features centimeter markings to allow the care team to monitor for tube migration or displacement.
