Key Features

  • 6 French "Slim-Bore" Diameter: Ideal for smaller pediatric patients. It provides a tiny profile that minimizes nasal resistance and maximizes comfort while still allowing for the delivery of breast milk or thin formulas.

  • 3-Gram Tungsten Weight: Unlike the non-weighted versions (like the 20-0966), this tube features a small tungsten weight at the tip. This helps the tube settle into the "well" of the stomach and can assist in maintaining position during patient movement.

  • 22-Inch (55 cm) Length: Tailored for pediatric anatomy. This length reduces the amount of excess tubing hanging outside the patient, which is a critical safety factor in preventing accidental "pull-outs" by curious children.

  • ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger and more durable than silicone. This allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen, meaning the tube is less likely to clog despite its small 6 Fr size.

  • C-19* Water-Activated Lubricant: The internal lumen is pre-coated with lubricant. Once hydrated with water or saline, the placement stylet slides out smoothly, preventing the tube from being displaced during the removal process.

  • Radiopaque Visibility: The entire tube and the weighted tip are visible under X-ray, allowing clinicians to confirm the tip is in the stomach before feeding begins.
