Key Features
6 French Ultra-Thin Diameter: Designed specifically for infants and children. This small bore minimizes nasal irritation and airway resistance, making it suitable for long-term enteral nutrition.
1.5-Gram Tungsten Weight: A lightweight bolus that provides gastric stability. It is heavy enough to prevent the tube from shifting due to movement or reflux, but light enough to be appropriate for pediatric anatomy.
36-Inch (91 cm) Pediatric Length: Sized to provide adequate reach for gastric placement in children without the safety hazard of excessive external tubing found in adult models.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire. Because 6 Fr polyurethane is exceptionally flexible, the stylet is required to provide the "pushability" needed for accurate bedside placement.
Universal / Legacy Connector: Features the traditional stepped ("Christmas tree") connector for use with legacy syringes and sets.
Note: For the purple ISO-standard safety connector, the ENFit® version is 40-9366.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Medical-grade, radiopaque material that is stronger than silicone. This strength allows for thinner walls, ensuring the largest possible internal lumen for a 6 Fr tube.
C-19* Water-Activated Lubricant: An internal and external coating that becomes highly slippery when wet, facilitating a smoother insertion and easier removal of the stylet once placement is confirmed.
