Key Features
High-Flow 10 Fr Diameter: The wider lumen is excellent for ensuring consistent delivery of nutrition and reduces the pressure required for flushing and aspiration.
Stabilized Positioning: The 1.5-gram tungsten weight provides gentle gravity assistance to keep the tube tip at the base of the stomach, preventing it from coiling in the esophagus—a common issue in active infants.
Anti-Clog Technology: The distal bolus features an exit port slightly larger than the internal diameter. This "Ultra" design prevents the accumulation of formula fats and medication solids at the very end of the tube.
Polyurethane Durability: Polyurethane is significantly stronger than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen. It is also more resistant to the acidic environment of the stomach.
Placement Monitoring: The tube is printed with clear centimeter markings, allowing the care team to precisely monitor for migration and ensuring the tube remains in the correct gastric position.
