Description

The Avanos PFTS8.0S-NC is an 8.0 French, 40 cm Silicone enteral feeding tube from the NeoMed line.

This model is part of the "S" series, which is the softest and most pliable material option available. It is specifically designed for neonatal and pediatric patients with high skin sensitivity or those at risk for mucosal irritation and nipple aversion.

Key Features

  • Soft Silicone Construction: Provides a gentle interface with delicate neonatal tissues, reducing the risk of trauma and improving patient comfort during insertion and long-term use.

  • ENFit (NeoConnect) Connector: Features a dedicated, locking enteral connection that prevents accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems, such as IV lines, ensuring patient safety.

  • Bacteria-Resistant Open Hub: Designed with a "bottomless" hub that lacks hidden floors or crevices. This prevents the pooling of nutrients like breast milk or formula, which significantly reduces the risk of bacterial biofilm formation.

  • Open Distal Tip: Includes a smooth, open-ended tip with three precision-drilled, offset side ports. This configuration maximizes flow and eliminates "dead zones" common in closed-tip designs.

  • Placement Verification: Equipped with a semi-encapsulated radiopaque stripe for clear X-ray visualization and bold centimeter markings (up to at least 32 cm) to assist clinicians in monitoring insertion depth.

  • Tethered Wave-Pattern Plug: Features a unique closure plug that stays securely attached to the hub, providing protection from debris while allowing airflow to reduce moisture buildup.
