Key Features
ENFit (NeoConnect) Connector: Features the ISO 80369-3 compliant threaded locking connector. This ensures a secure connection to enteral-only syringes and pump sets, preventing dangerous misconnections with IV lines.
Medium Length (60 cm): Provides extended reach for larger infants or pediatric patients where a standard 40 cm tube is too short to reach the stomach effectively.
Bacteria-Resistant Open Hub: Designed with NeoMed’s signature "bottomless" hub that lacks internal floors or crevices. This prevents formula or breast milk from pooling, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial biofilm formation.
Open Distal Tip: Includes a smooth, open-ended distal tip with three precision-drilled, offset side ports. This maximizes flow and eliminates "dead zones" where bacteria often colonize in closed-tip designs.
Placement Verification: Equipped with a semi-encapsulated orange radiopaque stripe for clear X-ray visualization and bold centimeter markings along the tube to verify and monitor insertion depth.
PVC Construction: Provides a slightly firmer feel than polyurethane or silicone, which can facilitate easier insertion for certain clinical needs.
Tethered Wave-Pattern Plug: Includes a securely attached closure plug with a unique wave design that allows airflow through the hub to reduce moisture while keeping the internal lumen protected.
