Key Features
6 French Ultra-Thin Diameter: Specifically designed for the pediatric population. This small diameter minimizes nasal trauma and maximizes patient comfort in small infants and children.
3-Gram Tungsten Weight: A light distal weight that helps the tube settle in the stomach or assists in migrating past the pylorus. In pediatric patients, this weight provides significant stability relative to their size.
36-Inch (91 cm) Pediatric Length: Shorter than the standard 43-inch adult tube, this length reduces the amount of excess tubing hanging externally, which is safer and more manageable for smaller patients.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. Because 6 Fr polyurethane is extremely flexible, the stylet is required to provide the column strength needed for insertion.
Universal / Legacy Connector: Features the traditional stepped ("Christmas tree") connector.
Note: For the newer purple ISO-standard safety connector, you would look for the ENFit® version (typically 40-7366).
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger and more durable than silicone, allowing for the thinnest possible walls to maintain a functional internal lumen in an ultra-small 6 Fr size.
C-19* Water-Activated Lubricant: The tip and internal lumen are coated with a lubricant that becomes highly slippery when wet, facilitating a smoother insertion and easier stylet removal.
