Key Features
6 French Ultra-Thin Diameter: Designed for neonatal and pediatric anatomy to minimize nasal trauma and ensure patient comfort during long-term placement.
1.5-Gram Tungsten Weight: A reduced weight bolus compared to the standard 3g pediatric tubes. This provides enough gravity to keep the tube in the stomach while reducing the profile of the tip for smaller patients.
36-Inch (91 cm) Pediatric Length: Sized to provide adequate reach for gastric placement in children without excessive external tubing.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire to provide the necessary rigidity for insertion; it is removed and discarded once placement is confirmed.
Universal / Legacy Connector: Features the traditional stepped ("Christmas tree") connector.
Note: For the purple ISO-standard safety connector, the ENFit® version is 40-8366.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: High-grade radiopaque material that resists collapse and allows for a larger internal lumen relative to the 6 Fr size.
C-19* Water-Activated Lubricant: Internal and external coating that becomes slippery when wet to facilitate smoother insertion and easier stylet removal.
