Description
Key Features
Mid-Length (60 cm): Optimized for older infants or small children where a 40 cm tube is too short to reach the stomach or post-pyloric site, and a 90 cm tube would create excessive "dead space" or external looping.
Long-Term Indwell: Validated for safe use for up to 30 days, which reduces the frequency of traumatic tube replacements for the patient.
Polyurethane Construction: Offers high durability and biocompatibility; the material is firm for easier insertion but softens at body temperature to minimize 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 without internal floors or crevices, preventing formula or breast milk accumulation and inhibiting bacterial growth.
Wave-Pattern Plug: Includes an integrated tethered cap with a unique wave-pattern design that allows for airflow while capped, further discouraging bacterial colonization.
Placement Monitoring: Equipped with an encapsulated radiopaque stripe for X-ray verification and bold centimeter markings for accurate insertion and monitoring.
