Description
this tube is Non-Styleted (does not include a guide wire) and is provided Sterile. The 8 French diameter is the largest bore available in the 15-inch length, making it ideal for older infants or toddlers who require a shorter tube that can accommodate thicker formulas or medications.
Key Features
Pediatric Sizing: The 15-inch length is tailored for smaller pediatric patients, ensuring the tube reaches the stomach without excessive external tubing, which can be a safety hazard for active infants.
Non-Styleted (No Wire): Designed for atraumatic insertion. Because 8 French polyurethane is slightly firmer than 5 or 6 French, it can be easily advanced into the stomach without the need for a metal stylet, reducing the risk of internal tissue irritation.
Sterile Packaging: Provided sterile to meet the high clinical standards of NICUs and Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs), particularly for immunocompromised patients.
ENFit Safety Connector: Equipped with the purple ISO-standard connector. This ensures the tube is only compatible with enteral feeding equipment, preventing accidental connections to IV lines.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger and more durable than silicone or PVC, this material allows for a larger internal lumen. This is particularly useful in an 8 Fr tube, as it facilitates the flow of high-calorie pediatric formulas.
Radiopaque Monitoring: The tube is fully radiopaque, allowing for easy placement verification via X-ray. Centimeter markings allow for daily monitoring of the tube's position.
