Key Features
Weighted Gravity Assistance: The 3-gram tungsten weight helps the tube "sink" toward the pylorus and navigate into the duodenum. This is a common choice for clinicians attempting bedside post-pyloric placement without immediate endoscopic or fluoroscopic help.
8 French Comfort: The narrow diameter is better tolerated for long-term use, significantly reducing the risk of nasal mucosal irritation compared to larger 10 Fr or 12 Fr tubes.
Anti-Clog Technology: The distal bolus is designed so the exit port is slightly larger than the internal diameter of the tube. This prevents the "trap" effect where thick formula or medications can harden at the tip.
Polyurethane Strength: Polyurethane is much more durable than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen. This ensures the 8 Fr tube maintains excellent flow rates for continuous feeding.
Flow-Through Stylet: The braided stainless steel wire allows for flushing or aspiration while the stylet is still in place, which is critical for verifying placement via pH or air insufflation during the insertion process.
