Key Features
8.0 French Diameter: A mid-to-large bore size that facilitates higher flow rates for nutrition and more efficient gastric decompression or aspiration compared to smaller sizes.
Firm PVC Construction: The natural rigidity of medical-grade PVC makes the tube easier to guide through the nasal or oral passage. It is DEHP-free, BPA-free, and not made with natural rubber latex.
Legacy "EO" Hub: Features the signature orange NeoMed* connector. This is a non-threaded, slip-style hub designed for legacy enteral syringes and is not compatible with threaded purple ENFit syringes without an adapter.
Anti-Colonization Design:
Open Distal Tip: Features a rounded open end with three precision-drilled side ports. This smooth design eliminates sharp edges and "dead zones" where bacteria can hide, common in traditional closed-tip tubes.
Aseptic Hub & Plug: The "bottomless" hub design lacks internal floors where breast milk or formula can pool, helping to mitigate 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 allow clinicians to monitor for any potential tube migration.
