Key Features
ENFit (NeoConnect) Connector: Utilizes the ISO 80369-3 compliant threaded locking connector to ensure secure enteral connections and prevent accidental misconnection with IV lines.
Medium Length (60 cm): Offers extended reach for larger neonates or pediatric patients where a standard 40 cm tube is too short to reach the stomach.
Bacteria-Resistant Open Hub: Designed with NeoMed’s signature "bottomless" hub that lacks internal floors or crevices. This prevents breast milk or formula from pooling, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial biofilm formation.
Open Distal Tip: Includes a smooth, open-ended tip with three precision-drilled, offset side ports. This maximizes nutrient flow and eliminates "dead zones" where bacteria often colonize in traditional closed-tip designs.
Placement Verification: Equipped with a semi-encapsulated orange radiopaque stripe for clear X-ray visualization and bold centimeter markings along the tube to monitor insertion depth.
PVC Construction: Provides a slightly firmer feel than polyurethane or silicone, which can assist in easier insertion for certain clinical needs.
Tethered Wave-Pattern Plug: Includes a securely attached closure plug with a unique wave design that allows airflow through the hub to reduce moisture while keeping the internal lumen protected.
