Key Features
4.0 French Ultra-Slim Bore: Specifically sized for extremely low birth weight (ELBW) and very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates to ensure minimal interference with breathing and anatomical comfort.
Polyurethane Construction: Offers a high-strength wall that allows for a larger internal lumen relative to its outer diameter. The material is firm for precise insertion but softens at body temperature to prevent mucosal trauma.
30-Day Indwell: Validated for safe use for up to 30 days, significantly reducing the need for frequent, stressful tube replacements in fragile neonates.
Enteral Only (EO) Hub: Features a legacy non-threaded hub compatible with traditional oral and enteral syringes. It is not an ENFit connector.
Anti-Bacterial Hub Design: Engineered with a "bottomless" hub architecture to prevent the accumulation of breast milk or formula, which helps inhibit bacterial growth at the connection site.
Wave-Pattern Plug: Includes an integrated tethered cap with a unique wave design that allows for airflow while capped, further discouraging bacterial colonization.
Placement Accuracy: Equipped with a radiopaque stripe for X-ray confirmation and bold centimeter markings (starting at 5 cm) to monitor and maintain accurate placement daily.
