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.
