Key Features
8.0 French Large Bore: Ideal for delivering higher-volume feeds or more viscous medications while remaining narrow enough for pediatric comfort.
Long-Term Indwelling: Validated for safe use for up to 30 days, which reduces the frequency of traumatic tube replacements.
Polyurethane Construction: The material is firm for easier insertion and navigation but softens significantly at body temperature to conform to the patient's anatomy, minimizing 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 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 monitoring and maintaining accurate placement.
