Description
This model is a Non-Styleted and Sterile tube. It is a standard "mid-length" choice for older infants and pediatric patients, offering a larger diameter than the 5 or 6 French versions to accommodate thicker formulas and a wider variety of medications while remaining safe for insertion without a guide wire.
Key Features
Pediatric Sizing: The 22-inch length is ideal for toddlers and small children who require gastric access but for whom an adult-length (43-inch) tube would be excessively long and difficult to manage.
Non-Styleted (No Wire): Designed for atraumatic insertion. Because the 8 French polyurethane material has a degree of natural "body," it can be advanced safely through the nasal passage without the need for a metal guide wire, reducing the risk of internal tissue trauma.
Sterile Packaging: Provided sterile, which is essential for patients in high-acuity settings like the PICU or for those with compromised immune systems where infection control is paramount.
Non-Weighted (Clear) Tip: The absence of a tungsten weight makes the tube lighter and more comfortable for the patient. The clear distal bolus allows clinicians to visually inspect the tip for any debris or buildup.
ENFit Safety Connector: Features the purple ISO-standard connector. This ensures the tube only connects to enteral-specific syringes and administration sets, preventing accidental and dangerous misconnections with IV lines.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger and more durable than silicone or PVC, this medical-grade material allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen. This maximizes flow efficiency, which is particularly useful for an 8 Fr tube.
