Description
this model is Non-Styleted and provided Sterile. The 6 French diameter provides a slightly larger internal lumen, which can be beneficial for the administration of higher-viscosity medications or thicker formulas in neonates and small infants.
Key Features
Neonatal/Infant Focus: The 15-inch length is specifically tailored for the distance from the nose to the stomach in newborns and young infants, avoiding the excess "dead space" or tubing length of adult-sized devices.
Non-Styleted Safety: This tube is designed for insertion without a guide wire (stylet). In neonatal care, the absence of a stylet is often preferred to reduce the risk of accidental trauma to the delicate esophagus or respiratory tract.
Sterile Packaging: Provided sterile, making it suitable for high-risk neonatal patients and NICU environments where infection prevention is a top priority.
ENFit Safety Connector: Features the purple ISO-standard connector. This ensures that only enteral syringes and sets can be attached, preventing dangerous accidental connections with IV or respiratory lines.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger than silicone, this material allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen. This is critical for maintaining consistent flow and reducing the risk of clogging in small-bore pediatric tubes.
Radiopaque Monitoring: The tube is fully radiopaque for X-ray confirmation and features centimeter markings to allow the care team to monitor for any tube migration.
