Key Features
Real-Time Guidance: The transmitting stylet sends signals to a receiver unit on the patient's chest, which then displays the tube's trajectory on the CORTRAK* monitor. This helps clinicians confirm the tube is following the midline and entering the stomach rather than the lungs, potentially reducing the need for confirmatory X-rays.
Extended Reach: At 109 cm, this tube is long enough to be placed post-pylorically (into the small intestine/duodenum) or used for standard gastric placement in larger adult patients.
Anti-Clog Design: The distal tip features a "bowed" bolus where the exit port is larger than the internal lumen. This prevents thick formula or crushed medications from trapping at the end of the tube.
Polyurethane Advantage: The tube is made of high-strength polyurethane, which allows for thinner walls and a larger internal diameter compared to silicone. This improves flow rates and makes the tube more resistant to collapsing during aspiration.
