Key Features
8.0 French Diameter: A larger lumen that is ideal for delivering more viscous nutrition, medications, or providing efficient gastric decompression and aspiration in larger patients.
ENFit Safety Hub: Features a purple-coded, threaded ISO 80369-3 compliant connector. This design ensures a secure, leak-proof lock and provides a physical safety barrier against accidental misconnections to non-enteral systems like IV lines.
Thermal Softening Polyurethane: This medical-grade material is firm at room temperature to facilitate controlled insertion—critical for a tube of this length—but softens significantly at body temperature to maximize patient comfort. It is validated for an indwell time of up to 30 days.
Anti-Colonization Design:
Open Distal Tip: Features a rounded, smooth open end with three precision-drilled side ports. This "smooth-flow" design minimizes irritation to mucosal tissues and eliminates stagnant "dead zones" where bacteria can colonize.
Aseptic Hub: The "bottomless" hub design prevents the accumulation of breast milk or formula in internal crevices, maintaining a cleaner connection site.
Radiopaque Placement Verification: A semi-encapsulated orange stripe runs the entire 105 cm length, ensuring high visibility under X-ray for placement confirmation.
Bold Depth Markings: High-contrast centimeter markings assist clinicians in precise insertion and provide a clear reference for monitoring potential tube migration.
