Key Features
Deep Jejunal Guidance: The 55-inch length is the longest in the CORFLO* line, designed to reach far into the small bowel. When used with the CORTRAK* 2 monitor, clinicians can watch the tube's progress on screen as it passes through the stomach and enters the duodenum and jejunum.
ANTI-IV* Safety: The specialized Y-port provides a physical barrier against medical errors. It is designed to be incompatible with standard IV Luer syringes, ensuring that only enteral feeding sets can be connected to the tube.
Real-Time Visualization: By using electromagnetic signals, the CORTRAK* system helps clinicians identify accidental lung placement or "coiling" in the stomach immediately at the bedside, often reducing the total number of X-rays required for confirmation.
Bowed Anti-Clog Tip: The distal tip is designed so that the exit port is slightly larger than the internal diameter of the tube. This "Ultra" design is essential for preventing clogs over such a long distance, especially when using viscous formulas or crushed medications.
Polyurethane Construction: Polyurethane is significantly stronger than silicone, allowing for a larger internal lumen in a 10 Fr size. This improves flow rates and makes the tube highly resistant to kinking or collapsing during aspiration.
