Key Features
ENFit (NeoConnect) Connector: Features the ISO 80369-3 compliant threaded locking connector. This safety standard ensures the tube only connects to enteral syringes and pump sets, preventing accidental misconnection with IV lines or other non-enteral systems.
Medium Length (60 cm): Provides extended reach for larger pediatric or adolescent patients where a standard 40 cm tube is too short for proper gastric placement.
Large Bore (12.0 French): The larger diameter is ideal for the administration of thicker formulas or medications and is less likely to clog compared to smaller French sizes.
Durable Polyurethane (PUR): Offers superior durability and kink resistance compared to PVC. Polyurethane is designed to remain indwelling for up to 30 days, which helps reduce the frequency of traumatic tube re-insertions.
Bacteria-Resistant Open Hub: Designed with NeoMed’s signature "bottomless" hub that lacks internal floors or crevices. This prevents breast milk or formula 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 nutrient flow and eliminates "dead zones" where bacteria often colonize.
Placement Verification: Equipped with a semi-encapsulated orange radiopaque stripe for clear X-ray visualization and bold centimeter markings to verify and monitor insertion depth.
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.
