Key Features
5 French Precision: The ultra-slim 5 Fr diameter is designed to be as minimally invasive as possible for neonates, reducing nasal airway obstruction and improving patient comfort.
Neonatal Weighting: The 1.5-gram tungsten weight provides just enough gravity to keep the tube tip seated in the stomach, which is vital for infants who experience frequent reflux or movement that might otherwise dislodge a non-weighted tube.
Anti-Clog Technology: Despite the extremely narrow 5 Fr lumen, the "Ultra" bolus tip features an exit port slightly larger than the internal diameter. This helps prevent clogs from breast milk or specialized high-calorie neonatal formulas.
Polyurethane Durability: Polyurethane’s strength allows for thinner walls than silicone, maximizing the internal lumen for a 5 Fr size. This ensures that feeding remains consistent and aspiration of gastric contents is easier for the clinician.
Flow-Through Stylet: The stainless steel stylet allows for flushing or checking for gastric aspirate while the wire is still in place, simplifying the confirmation of placement during insertion.
