Description
The Avanos PFTS8.0P-NC is an 8.0 French, 40 cm polyurethane enteral feeding tube from the NeoMed line. It is designed for neonatal and pediatric patients to provide nutrition via nasal or oral gastric placement, with a specific focus on safety and infection control.
Key Features
ENFit (NeoConnect) Connector: Specifically engineered to enhance patient safety by preventing accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems, such as IV lines.
Bacteria-Resistant Open Hub: The "bottomless" hub design eliminates floors and hidden crevices where formula or breast milk can pool, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial growth.
Open Distal Tip: Features a smooth, open-ended tip with three precision-drilled, offset side ports. This maximizes flow and eliminates "dead spaces" common in closed-tip tubes.
Placement Verification: Equipped with a semi-encapsulated radiopaque stripe for clear visualization under X-ray and bold centimeter markings to verify and monitor insertion depth.
Tethered Wave-Pattern Plug: The unique closure plug allows airflow through the hub to reduce moisture while staying securely attached to prevent loss.
Biocompatible Material: Constructed from medical-grade polyurethane, which is DEHP-free, BPA-free, and not made with natural rubber latex.
