Key Features
8.0 French Diameter: A larger bore size for the "Short" (40 cm) category, making it ideal for high-volume feeding, delivering thick fortified nutrition, or efficient gastric decompression.
Firm PVC Construction: The medical-grade PVC material is naturally stiff, facilitating easier control during insertion. 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 threaded purple ENFitĀ® syringes without an 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 found on punched holes and eliminates "dead zones" where bacteria can hide.
Aseptic Hub & Plug: The "bottomless" hub design prevents the accumulation of nutrition in internal crevices, keeping the connection site cleaner.
Radiopaque Placement Verification: A semi-encapsulated orange stripe runs the entire length of the tube, ensuring 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.
