Key Features
Real-Time Bedside Guidance: The transmitting stylet sends signals to a receiver unit on the patient's chest. This allows the clinician to view the tube's trajectory on a CORTRAK* monitor, helping to ensure the tube reaches the stomach or small bowel while avoiding accidental placement in the lungs.
ANTI-IV* Safety: The specialized Y-port prevents standard IV Luer syringes from locking onto the feeding tube. This provides a critical physical barrier to prevent accidental cross-connection and the potentially fatal administration of enteral formula into an IV line.
Enhanced Reach: The 43-inch length is sufficient for reaching past the pylorus into the duodenum or jejunum, making it a versatile choice for both gastric and intestinal feeding.
Anti-Clog Design: The distal tip features a "bowed" design where the outlet port is larger than the internal diameter of the tube. This minimizes the risk of clogs from medications or thick nutritional formulas.
C-19™ Hydrophilic Lubricant: A water-activated lubricant is applied to the internal lumen and the distal tip. This ensures the tracking stylet can be removed smoothly once placement is confirmed and reduces friction during insertion.
