Description
The Avanos PFTS5.0S-NC is a purple, NeoConnect enteral feeding tube from the NeoMed line. The "S" in the SKU denotes that this tube is made of Silicone, offering a softer and more flexible alternative to the Polyurethane ("P") or PVC ("V") models.
Key Features
Soft Silicone Construction: Medical-grade silicone is exceptionally soft, which helps reduce the risk of tissue trauma and nipple aversion in sensitive neonatal and pediatric patients.
ENFit (NeoConnect) Connector: Features the standardized safety connection to prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems, ensuring that only nutrition and enteral medications are delivered.
Bacteria-Resistant Open Hub: Designed with the signature "bottomless" hub that eliminates crevices or floors where breast milk or formula can pool, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial biofilm formation.
Open Distal Tip: Includes a smooth, open-ended tip with three precision-drilled, offset side ports to maximize flow and eliminate "dead zones" common in closed-tip designs.
Placement Verification: Equipped with a semi-encapsulated radiopaque stripe for clear X-ray visualization and bold centimeter markings (up to 32 cm) to verify and monitor insertion depth.
Tethered Wave-Pattern Plug: An attached closure plug with a unique wave design that allows airflow through the hub to reduce moisture while keeping the internal lumen protected.
