Key Features
NeoConnect EO (Enteral Only) Connector: Features a purple-coded, friction-fit (slip) safety connection. It is designed to be compatible with standard oral-tip syringes while remaining physically incompatible with IV ports to prevent accidental misconnections.
Medium Length (60 cm): Provides intermediate reach, making it suitable for infants and smaller pediatric patients who require a length beyond the standard 40 cm neonatal size.
Ultra-Soft Silicone Construction: Offers the highest level of flexibility and biocompatibility. Silicone is the preferred material for patients with extremely sensitive mucosal tissue or those at high risk for irritation during long-term placement.
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 along the length of the tube to monitor and verify 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.
