Description
This model is part of the 20-series, designating it as Styleted (includes a guide wire) and Non-Sterile. The 6 French size is a standard choice for pediatric and neonatal patients who require a slightly larger diameter than a 5 Fr tube to improve flow rates while maintaining high patient comfort.
Key Features
6 French Small-Bore: Ideally suited for infants and children. The 6 Fr diameter allows for easier delivery of breast milk and specialized pediatric formulas while minimizing nasal irritation.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. The stylet provides the necessary rigidity to ensure a smooth, controlled insertion through the nasal passage into the stomach. It is removed once placement is confirmed.
36-inch Length: A versatile pediatric length that provides enough reach for infants and growing children, without the excessive bulk of a standard 43-inch adult tube.
ENFit Safety Connector: Features the purple ISO 80369-3 standard connector. This critical safety design ensures the tube is incompatible with IV equipment, preventing accidental tubing misconnections in high-acuity pediatric environments.
Non-Weighted (Clear) Tip: The tube is non-weighted to ensure maximum patient comfort and prevent pressure on the delicate gastric mucosa. The clear distal bolus allows for easy visual inspection for clogs.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen. This is particularly important for small 6 Fr tubes to ensure consistent flow and resistance to kinking.
