Description
This product is indicated for use in preparing solid oral medications for patients with enteral access (such as PEG, G-tube, or J-tube) where pulverized medication must be suspended in liquid. It is specifically optimized for small-volume doses, often utilized in pediatric or geriatric care.
Technical Specifications
Dimensions: 2" \times 5" (5.08 cm x 12.7 cm).
Material: 4-mil thick, puncture-resistant medical-grade plastic (Polyethylene/Polyamide/PET).
Design: A narrow-profile, non-sterile pouch with a secondary "tear-off" perforated top for dispensing contents.
Capacity: Optimized for 1–5 standard-sized tablets.
Clinical Features
Contained Pulverization: The zip-closure hermetically seals the medication during the crushing process. This prevents the aerosolization of drug particles, minimizing caregiver exposure to hazardous medication dust and ensuring 100% dose retention.
Clog Prevention: Designed to withstand the mechanical pressure of rolling and crushing, the pouch allows for a "two-stage" pulverization that yields a fine powder. This is critical for preventing occlusions in narrow-bore feeding tubes, such as 12 French (RA-0012) or 16 French (RA-0016) models.
Closed-System Suspension: Once pulverized, water or diluent can be added directly into the pouch to create a suspension, which is then drawn into an enteral syringe (such as an ENFit syringe).
