Key Features
40 cm Length (Short): Specifically designed for neonatal and infant patients to minimize external tubing "slack" and reduce the amount of dead space between the hub and the stomach.
Firm PVC Construction: The natural rigidity of medical-grade PVC makes it easier to guide through the nasal or oral passage. It is DEHP-free, BPA-free, and not made with natural rubber latex.
Legacy "EO" Hub: Features the orange NeoMed* connector. This is a non-threaded, slip-style hub designed for legacy enteral syringes. It is not compatible with purple threaded ENFitĀ® syringes without a transition adapter.
Anti-Colonization Design:
Open Distal Tip: Features a rounded open end and three precision-drilled side ports. This "smooth-flow" design avoids the sharp edges of punched holes and eliminates "dead zones" where bacteria often colonize.
Aseptic Hub: The "bottomless" hub design prevents the accumulation of breast milk or formula in internal crevices, keeping the connection site cleaner.
Radiopaque Placement Verification: A semi-encapsulated orange stripe runs the entire 40 cm length, providing high visibility under X-ray.
Accuracy & Monitoring: High-contrast centimeter markings assist in precise initial depth measurement and allow clinicians to monitor for potential tube migration.
