Key Features
Anti-IV Proximal Connector: This Y-connector is specifically designed to reject Luer-lock or standard Luer-slip syringes, effectively "locking out" IV equipment to prevent dangerous misconnections.
6 French Ultra-Thin Diameter: The smallest standard diameter for this series, optimized for the narrow anatomy of infants and small children to ensure maximum comfort and minimal nasal irritation.
3-Gram Tungsten Weight: A light distal weight that serves as an anchor, helping the tube remain stable in the stomach or aiding its migration into the small bowel (post-pyloric placement).
36-Inch (91 cm) Pediatric Length: A specialized length for smaller patients, reducing the risk of excess external tubing being pulled or snagged.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. Because 6 Fr polyurethane is extremely flexible, the stylet provides the "pushability" needed for a successful bedside insertion.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: A medical-grade material that is more durable than silicone. This allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen to maximize the flow of pediatric formulas.
Radiopaque and Marked: The entire tube and the weighted tip are visible under X-ray. Centimeter markings along the tube help clinical staff verify depth and monitor for displacement.
Water-Activated Lubricant: The tip and internal lumen are coated with a lubricant that becomes slippery when wet, facilitating smoother insertion and easier stylet removal.
