Key Features
ENFit Safety Hub: Features the purple, threaded ISO 80369-3 compliant connector. This ensures a secure, leak-proof lock and provides a physical barrier against accidental connection to non-enteral systems like IV lines.
Thermal Softening Polyurethane: The material is firm at room temperature for controlled, easier insertion but softens significantly once it reaches body temperature. This maximizes patient comfort for a long-term indwell time of up to 30 days.
Anti-Colonization Design:
Open Distal Tip: Features a rounded open end with three precision-drilled side ports. This "smooth-flow" design minimizes irritation to the gastric mucosa and eliminates "dead zones" where bacteria can colonize.
Aseptic Hub: The "bottomless" hub design prevents the accumulation of breast milk or formula in internal crevices, keeping the connection site cleaner.
Radiopaque Placement Verification: A semi-encapsulated orange stripe runs the entire 40 cm length, ensuring high visibility under X-ray for placement confirmation.
Bold Depth Markings: High-contrast centimeter markings (up to 32 cm) assist clinicians in precise initial depth measurement and provide a clear way to monitor for tube migration.
