Key Features

  • Maximum Patient Comfort: The 8 French diameter is significantly thinner than 10 Fr or 12 Fr models. This is the preferred choice for patients who require naso-enteric access for an extended period, as it minimizes irritation to the nasal mucosa and throat.

  • Specialized Jejunal Reach: At 55 inches, this tube is designed to be placed deep into the small intestine (jejunum). This is critical for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding due to severe reflux, persistent vomiting, or a "non-functional" stomach (gastroparesis).

  • High-Strength Polyurethane: Despite being thin and long, the polyurethane material provides excellent kink resistance and a relatively large internal lumen. This ensures that the tube doesn't collapse during aspiration and maintains consistent flow for continuous feeding.

  • Anti-Clog Bolus: The distal tip features a unique design where the outlet port is larger than the internal diameter of the tube. This prevents the "trap" effect, which is especially important in an 8 Fr tube where the risk of medication or formula blockage is naturally higher.

  • Flow-Through Stylet: The stylet allows clinicians to flush the tube or check for aspirate without removing the wire, facilitating easier verification of placement at the bedside.
