Key Features
12 French Large Bore: This is the widest standard diameter in the 20-series. The increased internal lumen is ideal for preventing occlusions and allowing for easier aspiration of gastric contents if necessary.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. The stylet provides the rigidity required for a controlled and accurate placement through the nasal passage. It is removed and discarded once the tube's position is confirmed.
Standard Adult Length (43 in): The 109 cm length is the clinical standard for reaching the gastric body in adult patients while leaving enough external tubing for securement.
ENFit Safety Connector: Features the purple ISO 80369-3 standard connector. This critical safety design ensures the tube is incompatible with IV equipment, preventing accidental and dangerous misconnections.
Non-Weighted (Clear) Tip: This tube is non-weighted. The clear distal bolus allows for easy visual inspection to ensure the ports are clear of formula residue or medication buildup.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger and more durable than silicone, this material allows for thinner walls and a larger internal diameter, maximizing flow rates. It is medical-grade, radiopaque, and designed for use for up to 30 days.
