Key Features
Pediatric Sizing: At 5 French and 22 inches, this tube is sized for the shortest path from the nose to the stomach in pediatric patients.
Clear Visibility: The transparent walls are essential in neonatal care for verifying the color and consistency of aspirated gastric contents without needing to pull the fluid all the way into a syringe.
Polyurethane Strength: Polyurethane is much stronger than silicone. This allows the 5 Fr tube to have very thin walls and a larger internal lumen, which reduces the risk of the tube clogging with thick infant formulas or medications.
Atraumatic Design: The distal tip is rounded and smoothed to prevent irritation to the delicate nasal and esophageal tissues of a child.
Centimeter Markings: Depth markings are printed directly on the tube, allowing nurses to quickly verify that the tube hasn't moved or been pulled out by the patient.
