Key Features
10 French Mid-Bore Diameter: A standard adult size that balances patient comfort with a lumen large enough to deliver most enteral formulas and medications without frequent clogging.
7-Gram Tungsten Weight: Features a medium-heavy weight at the distal tip. This provides more "pull" than the standard 3g gastric tubes, making it ideal for patients who need the tube to pass into the duodenum or jejunum.
43-Inch (109 cm) Adult Length: The standard clinical length for reaching the stomach or upper small bowel in an average adult patient.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. This provides the necessary rigidity for a controlled insertion; the stylet is removed once the tube is in the correct clinical position.
Universal / Legacy Connector: This model typically features a legacy stepped connector. For the updated purple safety connector, you would look for the ENFit® version (40-4431).
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Medical-grade, radiopaque material that is stronger than silicone. This allows for thinner walls and a larger internal diameter for better flow rates.
Water-Activated Lubricant: The internal lumen and distal tip are coated with a lubricant that becomes slippery when wet, facilitating smoother insertion and easier stylet removal.
Radiopaque and Marked: The tube and the weighted tip are visible on X-ray for placement verification. Centimeter markings along the length allow for easy monitoring of tube position.
