Description
Key Features
6.5 French Diameter: A specialized size commonly used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and pediatric wards, offering a balance between a small outer diameter and a functional inner lumen.
90 cm Length: The extra-long 90 cm (approx. 35 inches) length allows for flexibility in both nasal and oral gastric placement, even for larger pediatric patients.
Soft Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-quality silicone, which is softer and more flexible than PVC or polyurethane. This material helps reduce the risk of tissue irritation and "nipple aversion" in infants.
Enteral Only (EO) Connector: Features a non-threaded, orange hub designed to prevent accidental connections to intravenous (IV) lines.
Note: This is not an ENFit connector. If your facility has transitioned to ENFit, you would require SKU FTL6.5S-NC.
Radiopaque Stripe: Includes a semi-encapsulated radiopaque stripe for clear visualization under X-ray to confirm that the tube tip is correctly positioned in the stomach.
Open Distal Tip: Features a precision-drilled open tip with three offset side portholes to ensure consistent flow and reduce the opportunity for bacterial colonization or clogs.
