Key Features
Pediatric Weighted Tip: The 1.5-gram tungsten weight provides gentle gravity assistance to prevent the tube from coiling or migrating back into the esophagus—a frequent challenge with active pediatric patients.
10 French Versatility: This size is often considered the "gold standard" for older children, as it is large enough to deliver most medications and viscous formulas without clogging, yet slim enough for patient comfort.
Anti-Clog Technology: The distal bolus features an exit port slightly larger than the internal diameter. This "Ultra" design prevents solids from trapping at the end of the tube, extending its clinical lifespan.
Polyurethane Durability: Polyurethane is significantly stronger and more kink-resistant than silicone. This allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen, ensuring maximum flow efficiency.
Flow-Through Stylet: The included stainless steel stylet allows for flushing and checking for gastric aspirate while the wire is still in place, making the confirmation of placement more efficient for the clinician.
