Key Features
60 cm Length (24 inches): An intermediate "Medium" length designed for infants and pediatric patients where a 40 cm tube is too short, but a 90 cm tube would have excessive external tubing.
Firm PVC Construction: The material's natural rigidity facilitates easier passage during nasal or oral placement. While polyurethane and silicone are often used for 30-day indwells, PVC is frequently used for shorter durations (typically up to 5 days), though it is medical-grade and DEHP/BPA-free.
Legacy "EO" Hub: Features the orange NeoMed* connector. It is a slip-style connector compatible with legacy enteral syringes and requires an adapter to work with newer purple ENFitĀ® systems.
Anti-Colonization Design:
Open Distal Tip: Features a rounded, open end with three precision-drilled side ports. This smooth design prevents the sharp edges and "dead zones" where bacteria often colonize in traditional closed-tip tubes.
Aseptic Hub: The "bottomless" hub design lacks internal crevices where breast milk or formula can pool, reducing the risk of bacterial growth.
Radiopaque Placement Verification: Includes a semi-encapsulated orange stripe that runs the entire 60 cm length for clear visibility under X-ray.
Accuracy & Monitoring: Bold centimeter markings assist in accurate initial depth measurement and ongoing monitoring for tube migration.
