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.
Long Length (90 cm): Provides maximum reach within the product line. This length is ideal for larger pediatric patients, adolescents, or for specific transpyloric (post-pyloric) placement where the tube must pass through the stomach into the small intestine.
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 along the entire 90 cm length 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.
