Key Features
8 French "Small-Bore" Diameter: The slim profile is significantly more comfortable for the patient and reduces the risk of nasal irritation or pressure necrosis during prolonged use.
3-Gram Tungsten Weight: Unlike the heavier 7g weights used on larger tubes, this 3g weight is optimized for the 8 Fr diameter to provide enough gravity-assisted guidance without being too bulky for the smaller lumen.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: This high-performance material allows for a larger internal diameter than silicone tubes of the same size. It is durable, resists collapsing, and remains flexible enough for patient comfort.
C-19* Water-Activated Lubricant: The internal lumen is pre-coated with a specialized lubricant. When water is flushed through the tube, it becomes very slippery, allowing for a smooth and effortless removal of the stylet once the tube is in place.
Radiopaque Stripe: The entire tube is visible under X-ray, which is critical for confirming that the tip has reached the desired location in the duodenum or jejunum.
Centimeter Markings: Printed clearly on the tube to allow clinicians to monitor for any "pistoning" or migration of the tube from its original placement depth.
