Key Features
5 French Ultra-Slim Diameter: Specifically designed for the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or infant care. The extremely small diameter minimizes nasal trauma and respiratory interference in tiny patients.
15-Inch (38 cm) Length: Sized precisely for gastric placement in neonates and small infants. This prevents excess external tubing, which is a significant safety consideration to prevent accidental displacement or entanglement.
Non-Weighted (Bolus) Tip: Lighter and more flexible than weighted options. In neonates, a plain tip is preferred to avoid any unnecessary pressure or irritation on the sensitive gastric mucosa.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Polyurethane is the material of choice for small-bore tubes because it is much stronger than silicone. This allows for a functional internal lumen even at the 5 Fr size and ensures the tube does not "kink" easily.
C-19* Water-Activated Lubricant: The internal lumen is pre-coated with lubricant that activates when hydrated. This is critical in neonates to ensure the stylet can be removed with zero "drag," ensuring the tube stays exactly where it was placed.
Radiopaque Stripe: Essential for clinical safety; the entire tube is visible under X-ray to confirm the tip is in the stomach before the first feeding.
