Key Features
CORTRAK* 2 Compatibility: The tube contains a pre-inserted stylet with an electromagnetic coil. When used with the CORTRAK* monitor, clinicians can "see" the tube's path in real-time, helping to identify accidental lung placement or "coiling" in the esophagus immediately.
ANTI-IV* Safety: The Y-port features a proprietary geometry that prevents standard IV Luer syringes from locking onto the port. This is a critical safety feature designed to prevent the accidental administration of tube feeding into an intravenous line.
Radiopaque Markings: The tube is fully radiopaque and features centimeter markings. This allows for easy verification of the tube's position via X-ray (the gold standard) and ongoing monitoring of tube migration at the bedside.
Polyurethane Durability: Polyurethane is stronger than silicone, allowing for a thinner wall and a larger internal lumen. This reduces the frequency of clogs and makes the tube more comfortable for the patient during long-term use.
