Key Features
Weighted Tip Assistance: The 3-gram tungsten weight helps keep the tube seated in the stomach and prevents "migration" or coiling in the esophagus. It also assists in natural passage through the pylorus if post-pyloric feeding is desired.
Large Lumen (12 Fr): The 12 French diameter is ideal for patients who may struggle with clogs in smaller tubes. The wider internal diameter accommodates more viscous nutritional formulas and easier administration of medications.
Anti-Clog Bolus: The distal tip is engineered with an exit port larger than the internal diameter of the tube. This "Ultra" design prevents solids from trapping at the end, which is a common point of failure for feeding tubes.
Polyurethane Durability: Polyurethane is significantly stronger and more kink-resistant than silicone. This allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen compared to silicone tubes of the same French size.
Flow-Through Stylet: The stainless steel stylet allows for flushing and checking for gastric aspirate while the wire is still in place, making the insertion and confirmation process more efficient.
