Key Features
NeoConnect EO (Enteral Only) Connector: Features a purple-coded, friction-fit (slip) safety connection. It is designed to be compatible with oral-tip syringes but is physically incompatible with IV ports to prevent accidental misconnections.
Bacteria-Resistant Open Hub: Designed with NeoMed’s signature "bottomless" hub that lacks internal floors or crevices. This prevents breast milk or formula from pooling, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial biofilm formation.
Open Distal Tip: Includes a smooth, open-ended distal tip with three precision-drilled, offset side ports. This maximizes nutrient flow and eliminates "dead zones" where bacteria often colonize.
Placement Verification: Equipped with a semi-encapsulated orange radiopaque stripe for clear X-ray visualization and bold centimeter markings to verify and monitor insertion depth.
PVC Construction: Offers a slightly firmer feel than polyurethane or silicone, which can facilitate easier insertion for certain clinical needs.
Tethered Wave-Pattern Plug: Includes a securely attached closure plug with a unique wave design that allows airflow through the hub to reduce moisture while keeping the internal lumen protected.
