Key Features
4.0 French Diameter: The smallest standard diameter, specifically engineered for micro-preemies and low-birth-weight neonates to minimize airway resistance and maximize comfort.
Thermal Softening Polyurethane: This medical-grade material is firm at room temperature to facilitate accurate insertion but softens significantly at body temperature. It is validated for a long-term indwell time of up to 30 days.
Legacy "EO" Hub: Features the signature orange NeoMed* connector. It is a non-threaded, "Enteral Only" hub designed to accept legacy oral/enteral syringes while preventing accidental connection to IV ports.
Anti-Colonization Design:
Open Distal Tip: Features a rounded, smooth open end with three precision-drilled side ports. This "smooth-flow" design avoids the sharp edges and "dead zones" where bacteria can hide in traditional closed-tip tubes.
Aseptic Hub & Plug: The "bottomless" hub design lacks internal crevices where breast milk or formula can pool, and the tethered wave-pattern plug allows for airflow to reduce moisture buildup.
Radiopaque Placement Verification: A semi-encapsulated orange stripe runs the entire 40 cm length, providing high visibility under X-ray.
Accuracy & Monitoring: Bold centimeter markings assist in precise initial depth measurement and provide a clear reference for monitoring tube migration.
