Avanos PFTS8.0V-EO: PVC Enteral Feeding Tube

The Avanos PFTS8.0V-EO (NeoMed® line) is a medical-grade PVC feeding tube designed for neonatal and pediatric patients. The "S" denotes its "Short" (40 cm) length, and the "8.0" French size provides a larger bore for delivering higher-volume nutrition. This model features the "EO" (Enteral Only) legacy hub.


Key Features

  • 8.0 French Bore: * Provides a larger internal diameter to facilitate the delivery of viscous formulas or medications.

    • Ideal for older infants or pediatric patients requiring higher flow rates.

  • PVC Construction: * Offers a firmer feel for superior "pushability" and tactile feedback during insertion.

    • Stays consistent in stiffness throughout use (unlike polyurethane, which softens at body temperature).

  • Enteral Only (EO) Hub: * A legacy, non-threaded hub compatible with traditional oral and slip-tip enteral syringes.

    • Note: This is not an ENFit connector.

  • Infection Prevention: * Bottomless Hub: Eliminates internal floors where milk or formula can pool, significantly reducing bacterial colonization.

    • Tethered Plug: Integrated cap ensures the system remains closed when not in use.

  • Safety & Monitoring: * Radiopaque Stripe: Full-length visibility for X-ray confirmation of placement.

    • Centimeter Markings: Bold markings allow for easy daily monitoring of the tube's position.

  • Atraumatic Tip: * Features a smooth, rounded tip with offset side portholes to maximize flow while protecting delicate gastric tissue.
