Description
This model is a 12 French, 43-inch (109 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 the primary choice for clinicians who prefer manual, weighted placement for larger-bore tubes to maximize patient safety and comfort.
Key Features
12 French Large Bore: The larger diameter is specifically suited for patients requiring high-volume feeding or for the administration of viscous medications that are prone to clogging smaller 8 Fr or 10 Fr tubes.
3-Gram Weighted Tip: The tungsten-weighted bolus assists in maintaining the tube's position within the stomach and aids in the natural migration toward the small intestine if post-pyloric placement is desired.
Stylet-Free Insertion: This tube is intended for placement without a metal guide wire. It utilizes the flexibility of the medical-grade polyurethane and the weight of the tip for insertion, reducing the risk of accidental internal trauma.
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 medical systems.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: High-grade polyurethane construction is stronger and more kink-resistant than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen to maximize flow.
Anti-Clog Technology: Features the ULTRA* anti-clog bolus tip. The exit port is designed to be slightly larger than the internal diameter of the tube to prevent the accumulation of formula and medication solids.
