Key Features
10-Gram Tungsten Weight: Features the heaviest standard distal weight in the CORFLO* line. This is the clinical choice for patients with gastroparesis or those who require the tube to "self-migrate" into the duodenum or jejunum.
10 French Mid-Bore: Provides a balanced diameter that is large enough to prevent clogging from standard enteral formulas while remaining flexible enough for intestinal passage.
43-Inch (109 cm) Adult Length: The standard length for reaching the small bowel in adult patients, providing adequate reach for post-pyloric feeding.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire to provide the necessary rigidity for a controlled insertion; the stylet is removed and discarded once placement is confirmed via X-ray.
Universal / Legacy Connector: This model features the traditional stepped ("Christmas tree") connector.
Note: If your facility requires the purple ISO-standard safety connector, the ENFit® version is part number 40-5431.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: A medical-grade material that is stronger and more durable than silicone, allowing for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen for improved flow rates.
Water-Activated Lubricant: The internal lumen and tip are coated with a lubricant that becomes slippery when wet, facilitating smoother insertion and easier stylet removal.
