Key Features
High-Flow 10 Fr Diameter: The wider internal lumen facilitates the delivery of thicker specialty formulas and ensures that medication delivery is less likely to result in a clogged tube.
Neonatal Weighting: The 1.5-gram tungsten weight provides gentle gravity assistance to help the tube tip settle in the stomach. This helps prevent the tube from "floating" or coiling in the esophagus, which is a common risk 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 and more kink-resistant than silicone. This allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen, maximizing flow efficiency for the patient.
Placement Monitoring: The tube is printed with clear centimeter markings, allowing the care team to precisely monitor for migration and ensure the tube remains in the correct gastric position.
