Key Features
40 cm Length (Short): The standard NICU length designed for the smallest patients to minimize external tubing and associated "dead space."
Firm PVC Construction: The material's natural rigidity facilitates easier passage and placement verification compared to softer silicone. While medical-grade and DEHP-free, PVC is generally intended for shorter indwell times than polyurethane.
Legacy "EO" Hub: Features the signature orange NeoMed* connector. This is a non-threaded, slip-style "Enteral Only" hub designed to accept legacy enteral syringes and prevent accidental misconnection to IV ports.
Anti-Colonization Design:
Open Distal Tip: Features a rounded, smooth open end with three precision-drilled side ports. This "smooth-flow" design eliminates sharp edges and the "dead zones" where bacteria can hide in traditional closed-tip tubes.
Aseptic Hub & Plug: The "bottomless" hub design prevents breast milk or formula from pooling in internal crevices, and the tethered plug closure helps keep the hub clean between uses.
Radiopaque Placement Verification: Includes a semi-encapsulated orange stripe that runs the entire 40 cm length for clear visibility under X-ray.
Bold Depth Markings: High-contrast centimeter markings assist in accurate initial depth measurement and allow for ongoing monitoring for tube migration.
