Key Features
8.0 French Diameter: A larger bore size for the "Short" (40 cm) category, ideal for delivering higher-volume feeds or more efficient gastric venting and aspiration in infants.
Ultra-Soft Silicone Construction: Stays flexible and soft immediately upon insertion without needing body heat to soften. This material is highly biocompatible and validated for a long-term indwell time of up to 30 days.
Legacy "EO" Hub: Features the orange NeoMed* connector. This is a non-threaded, slip-style hub designed for legacy enteral syringes. It is not compatible with threaded purple ENFit syringes without a transition adapter.
Anti-Colonization Design:
Open Distal Tip: Features a rounded open end and three precision-drilled side ports. This "smooth-flow" design avoids the sharp edges of punched holes and eliminates "dead zones" where bacteria can colonize.
Aseptic Hub: The "bottomless" hub design lacks internal floors where breast milk or formula could pool, helping keep the connection site cleaner.
Radiopaque Placement Verification: A semi-encapsulated orange stripe runs the entire length of the tube, providing high visibility under X-ray.
Accuracy & Monitoring: Bold centimeter markings assist in precise initial depth measurement and provide a clear reference for monitoring potential tube migration.
