Key Features
40 cm Short Length: Optimized for preterm and term infants to prevent excessive external looping and to maintain accurate delivery of small-volume feeds.
Long-Term Indwelling: Validated for safe use for up to 30 days, which reduces the frequency of traumatic re-insertions in fragile neonates.
Polyurethane Construction: The material is firm for controlled insertion but softens at body temperature to conform to the infant's anatomy, reducing the risk of internal tissue irritation.
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: Features a "bottomless" hub (no internal floor) to prevent formula or breast milk from pooling, which significantly inhibits bacterial colonization.
Wave-Pattern Tethered Plug: Includes an integrated closure plug with a unique wave design that facilitates airflow while capped, further discouraging bacterial growth.
Placement Monitoring: Equipped with an encapsulated radiopaque stripe for X-ray verification and bold centimeter markings to monitor and maintain accurate placement.
