Key Features
Neonatal Weighting: The 1.5-gram tungsten weight is strategically light. It provides enough gravity to keep the tube tip seated in the "well" of the stomach while remaining gentle enough for the fragile mucosal lining of a neonate.
Anti-Clog Technology: The distal tip features a bolus where the exit port is slightly larger than the internal diameter of the tube. This is critical in neonatal care to prevent the tube from being blocked by fats in breast milk or thick infant formulas.
Polyurethane Advantage: Polyurethane allows for thinner walls than silicone without sacrificing strength. This provides the maximum possible internal lumen for an 8 Fr tube, ensuring consistent flow and easier aspiration.
Flow-Through Stylet: The stainless steel wire allows clinicians to flush or check for gastric aspirate while the wire remains in the tube, which is essential for verifying placement during the insertion process.
Precise Markings: Printed centimeter markings allow for very accurate depth monitoring, which is vital in neonatal patients where the distance between the stomach and the lungs is very small.
