Key Features
10 French Mid-Bore Diameter: The standard size for adult patients, providing a larger internal lumen than 8 Fr tubes to facilitate easier delivery of formulas and crushed medications.
3-Gram Tungsten Weight: A light distal weight that acts as an anchor to help the tube settle in the gastric floor or assist in migration toward the pylorus.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire to provide the "pushability" required for a controlled bedside insertion.
Universal / Legacy Connector: Features the traditional stepped ("Christmas tree") connector.
Note: If your facility uses the purple safety standard, the ENFit® version is 40-7431.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger and more durable than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen relative to its French size.
Radiopaque and Marked: The entire tube and the tungsten weight are fully visible under X-ray. Centimeter markings along the length allow for easy monitoring of tube position.
Water-Activated Lubricant: The internal lumen and distal tip are coated with a lubricant that becomes slippery when wet, facilitating smoother insertion and easier stylet removal.
