Key Features
8.0 French Diameter: The large internal lumen is ideal for the delivery of higher-viscosity nutrition, such as fortified breast milk, and facilitates more effective suctioning of gastric contents.
Ultra-Soft Silicone Construction: Naturally flexible and soft immediately upon insertion, silicone helps protect fragile mucosal tissues and supports developmental care by reducing the risk of "nipple aversion."
Legacy Orange Hub: A non-threaded, orange "Enteral Only" connector. It is compatible with legacy oral and enteral syringes but requires a transition adapter to work with the newer purple ENFitĀ® systems.
Anti-Colonization Design:
Open Distal Tip: Features a rounded, open end with three offset side ports that are precision-drilled (not cut). This smooth design helps eliminate sharp edges and "dead zones" where bacteria can grow.
Aseptic Hub: The "bottomless" hub design prevents breast milk or formula from pooling in internal crevices, minimizing the risk of bacterial colonization.
Radiopaque Visibility: A semi-encapsulated orange stripe runs the entire 90 cm length of the tube for clear X-ray verification of placement.
Insertion Monitoring: Bold centimeter markings (to at least 32 cm) assist clinicians in measuring the initial depth and monitoring for any subsequent tube migration.
