Description

Key Features

  • 8 French Small-Bore Diameter: A versatile size that provides a larger internal lumen than a 6 Fr tube for easier delivery of formula, while remaining thin enough to ensure patient comfort.

  • 1.5-Gram Tungsten Weight: A light distal weight. This is designed for patients who need gastric stability but may be sensitive to the bulk or "pull" of a heavier 3g or 5g bolus.

  • 36-Inch (91 cm) Length: Sized for pediatric patients or smaller adults to reduce the risk of snagging or pulling on excess external tubing.

  • Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire to provide the rigidity needed for bedside placement. The stylet is removed and discarded once position is confirmed.

  • Universal / Legacy Connector: Features the traditional stepped ("Christmas tree") connector for use with older administration sets.

    Note: For the purple ISO-standard safety connector, the ENFit® version is 40-8368.

  • ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Medical-grade, radiopaque material that is stronger than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and improved flow rates.

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