Description

Key Features

  • 8 French Small-Bore Diameter: The thinnest standard adult diameter, optimized for patient comfort and reducing the risk of nasal mucosal irritation.

  • 3-Gram Tungsten Weight: A light distal weight that provides an anchor to keep the tube settled in the gastric floor or to help the tip settle toward the pylorus.

  • Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire to provide the necessary "pushability" for accurate bedside placement.

  • ENFit® Safety Connector: Features the purple ISO 80369-3 standard connector to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines.

  • ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Medical-grade material that is stronger than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen to maximize flow.

  • C-19* Water-Activated Lubricant: An internal and external coating that becomes highly lubricious when wet for easier insertion and stylet removal.

  • Radiopaque Construction: The entire tube and the tungsten weight are visible under X-ray for immediate confirmation of the tip's position.

  • Centimeter Depth Markings: Printed along the length of the tube to help clinical staff monitor for accidental tube migration or displacement.
