Key Features
8.0 French Diameter: A mid-to-large bore size that allows for efficient delivery of high-volume feeds and easier gastric aspiration compared to smaller 5.0 Fr or 6.5 Fr tubes.
Ultra-Soft Silicone Construction: Naturally flexible and biocompatible, silicone minimizes the risk of tissue trauma and irritation. It is validated for a long-term indwell time of up to 30 days.
Legacy "EO" Hub: Features the signature orange NeoMed* connector. This is a non-threaded, "Enteral Only" slip-style hub designed to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines, though it requires a transition adapter to connect to modern purple ENFitĀ® syringes.
Anti-Colonization Design:
Open Distal Tip: Features a rounded, smooth open end with three precision-drilled side ports. This "smooth-flow" design avoids sharp edges and eliminates "dead zones" where bacteria can colonize.
Aseptic Hub & Plug: The "bottomless" hub prevents breast milk or formula from pooling in internal crevices, and the tethered plug closure helps protect the lumen from debris.
Radiopaque Placement Verification: A semi-encapsulated orange stripe runs the entire 60 cm length for high visibility under X-ray.
Accuracy & Monitoring: Bold centimeter markings (to at least 32 cm) assist in accurate initial depth measurement and allow for easy monitoring of potential tube migration.
