Description

Key Features

  • 12 French Large-Bore Diameter: The widest standard diameter for this series, providing a larger internal lumen that is highly resistant to clogging from viscous formulas or crushed medications.

  • 10-Gram Tungsten Weight: A heavy distal weight designed to utilize peristalsis to help "pull" the tube past the stomach and into the small intestine.

  • 36-Inch Length: A specialized length for pediatric patients or smaller adults, providing the necessary reach for intestinal access without the bulk of a standard 43-inch adult tube.

  • Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire that provides the column strength needed for a controlled insertion; it is removed once placement is confirmed.

  • Universal / Legacy Connector: Features the legacy stepped ("Christmas tree") connector.

    Note: If your facility has transitioned to the purple ISO 80369-3 safety standard, you require the ENFit® version (typically part number 40-5362).

  • ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Medical-grade, radiopaque material that is stronger than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal diameter relative to its size.

  • Water-Activated Lubricant: The internal lumen and tip are coated with a lubricant that becomes slippery when wet to facilitate smoother insertion and easier stylet removal.

  • Radiopaque and Marked: The entire tube and weighted tip are visible on X-ray. Centimeter markings along the length allow for easy monitoring of potential tube migration.
