Description
This model is a 10 French, 43-inch (109 cm) tube. It belongs to the non-weighted (clear) series and features the modern ENFit safety connector. This specific part number is provided with an integrated stylet but is packaged sterile, making it the appropriate choice for surgical environments or for patients requiring a sterile insertion technique.
Key Features
Sterile Packaging: Unlike many standard NG tubes, the 40-3431 is sterilized, allowing it to be used in the Operating Room (OR) or for immunocompromised patients where sterile technique is mandated.
Non-Weighted / Clear Tip: Features a smooth distal bolus without a tungsten weight. This design maximizes patient comfort and is preferred when clinicians wish to avoid the "pendulum" effect of a weighted tip during placement.
Integrated Flow-Through Stylet: Includes a braided stainless steel stylet to provide the necessary rigidity for controlled placement. The "flow-through" design allows for air insufflation or pH aspiration while the wire remains in the tube.
ENFit Safety Connector: Equipped with the purple ISO-standard connector. This design prevents accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems, such as IV lines or tracheostomy tubes.
ULTRA-LITE Polyurethane:* Constructed from medical-grade polyurethane, which is stronger and more kink-resistant than silicone. This allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen, facilitating better flow rates.
Anti-Clog Technology: Features the ULTRA anti-clog bolus* tip. The exit port is designed to be slightly larger than the internal diameter of the tube to prevent formula or medication buildup.
