Key Features
Extended 55-Inch Reach: Most standard tubes are 36 or 43 inches long. The 55-inch length is specifically designed for tall patients or for placement deep into the jejunum. This is vital for patients with severe gastric reflux or gastroparesis who require feeding further down the digestive tract.
ANTI-IV Safety:* The "AIV2" suffix refers to the proprietary safety connector. The Y-port geometry prevents standard Luer-lock or Luer-slip syringes from connecting to the tube, reducing the risk of accidental administration of enteral formula into an IV line.
Bowed Anti-Clog Tip: The distal bolus is designed so the exit port is slightly larger than the internal diameter of the tube. This prevents solids from trapping at the tip, which is a common issue with long-reach tubes where flow resistance can be higher.
Polyurethane Advantage: Polyurethane is significantly stronger than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen. This provides better flow rates for the 10 Fr size while remaining highly resistant to kinking over the long 55-inch span.
C-19™ Hydrophilic Lubricant: A water-activated lubricant on the tip and internal lumen facilitates smooth insertion and ensures the long stylet can be removed without "grabbing" or displacing the tube.
