Key Features

  • 12 French Diameter: This is a slightly wider tube than the common 8 Fr or 10 Fr models. The larger lumen is particularly helpful for administering crushed medications or thicker high-protein formulas that might otherwise clog a smaller tube.

  • Anti-Clog Bolus: The distal tip features a "bowed" design where the outlet port is physically larger than the internal diameter of the tube. This prevents the "trap" effect where solids accumulate at the very end of the tube.

  • Polyurethane Durability: Polyurethane is stronger than silicone, allowing the tube walls to be thinner while maintaining high kink resistance. This results in a more comfortable insertion and a longer functional life for the tube.

  • Flow-Through Stylet: The included stylet allows you to flush the tube or check for gastric aspirate (using a compatible syringe) without having to remove the wire. This helps confirm the tube is in the stomach before the final "pull" of the stylet.

  • C-19™ Lubricant: A water-activated lubricant is applied to both the tip and the internal lumen. This ensures that the stylet slides out easily and reduces friction against the nasal mucosa during placement.
