Description
The Avanos PFTS5.0P-NC is a small-bore, polyurethane enteral feeding tube from the NeoMed line. It is designed for short-term (up to 30 days) gastric access in neonatal and pediatric patients.
Key Features
ENFit (NeoConnect) Connector: Specifically designed to prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems, such as IV lines, enhancing patient safety.
Open Hub Design: The "bottomless" hub eliminates crevices or floors where breast milk or formula can accumulate, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial growth.
Open Distal Tip: Features a smooth, open tip with three offset side ports to ensure consistent flow and minimize the residual colonization of bacteria often found in closed-tip designs.
Placement Verification: Includes a semi-encapsulated radiopaque stripe for visibility under X-ray and bold centimeter markings to verify and monitor insertion depth.
Tethered Closure Plug: The unique wave-pattern plug is securely attached to the hub, providing a secure seal while allowing airflow to help reduce moisture buildup.
Medical-Grade Polyurethane: Offers greater durability than PVC, allowing the tube to remain in place for up to 30 days while staying soft and biocompatible.
