Key Features
10-Gram Tungsten Weight: The distal end features a heavy 10g weight. This is designed to utilize peristalsis to help "pull" the tube into the small intestine, which is often necessary for patients with gastroparesis or severe reflux.
10 French Mid-Bore: The 10 Fr diameter is the most popular adult size, providing a large enough lumen for standard formulas and medications while maintaining patient comfort during the long-reach placement.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. This stylet is crucial for navigating the long 43-inch path and providing the rigidity needed to pass the tube into the small bowel.
ENFit Safety Connector: Features the purple ISO 80369-3 standard connector to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: This medical-grade material is gastric-acid resistant and designed for long-term use (up to 30 days). It is fully radiopaque, allowing for clear X-ray confirmation of the weighted tip’s position.
