Description
This model is part of the 42-series, meaning it is Non-Styleted (no guide wire) and provided Sterile. It is a specialized "long-reach" pediatric tube, often used for infants or small children who require a very thin diameter (5 Fr) but need the extra length to reach the gastric body or transition toward the small bowel.
Key Features
5 French Ultra-Thin Bore: This is the smallest diameter available in the 36-inch length. It is designed specifically for the most delicate pediatric patients where minimizing nasal and esophageal irritation is the highest priority.
Non-Styleted Safety: Designed for insertion without a guide wire. In neonatal and pediatric intensive care, many protocols prefer non-styleted tubes for these ultra-thin sizes to eliminate the risk of accidental trauma or perforation during placement.
Sterile Packaging: Provided sterile, which is a critical requirement for high-acuity pediatric environments or for patients with compromised immune systems.
Non-Weighted (Clear) Tip: The absence of a weight ensures the tube remains as lightweight and non-invasive as possible. The clear tip bolus allows for easy visual inspection of the distal end.
ENFit Safety Connector: Features the purple ISO-standard connector. This is a vital safety measure in pediatric wards to ensure that only enteral syringes can be attached, preventing dangerous accidental misconnections with IV lines.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger and more durable than silicone, this material allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen. This is essential for a 5 French tube to ensure that breast milk or thin formulas can flow without constant clogging.
