Description

Key Features

  • ENFit (NeoConnect) Connector: Features the ISO 80369-3 compliant threaded locking connector. This safety standard ensures the tube only connects to enteral syringes and pump sets, preventing accidental misconnection with IV lines or other non-enteral systems.

  • Long Length (90 cm): Provides maximum reach, making it ideal for larger pediatric patients, adolescents, or for specialized transpyloric (post-pyloric) placement where the tube must extend past the stomach into the small intestine.

  • PVC Construction: Offers a slightly firmer feel than polyurethane or silicone, which can facilitate easier insertion for certain clinical needs or patient anatomies while maintaining a comfortable profile.

  • 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 configuration 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 length of the tube 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.
