Description

The Avanos CORFLO Ultra nasogastric/nasointestinal feeding tube is designed to provide reliable enteral access for patients in need of nutritional support. With a length of 91 cm and a 12 French outer diameter, this device is suitable for both short-term and long-term feeding requirements in hospital and home care settings.

Key Features

• ENFit® Connector: Ensures compatibility with ENFit enteral feeding systems, reducing the risk of misconnections with non-enteral devices.
• Anti-Clog Bolus Design: Facilitates smooth bolus feeding, minimizing the risk of tube blockage.
• Radiopaque Material: Contains barium for enhanced visibility under X-ray, aiding in accurate placement verification.
• Distinctive Yellow Color: Combined with centimeter markings, it allows for easy monitoring of tube position.

Advanced Design

The tube is available in both weighted and non-weighted versions and offers an optional stylet to assist with placement. The water-activated lubricated tip and internal lumen (for stylet tubes) enhance ease of insertion, while the dual port design helps maintain a closed system.

Safety and Compatibility

• MRI Conditional: Safe for use in MRI environments under specified conditions once the stylet is removed.
• Biocompatibility Tested: Complies with ISO 10993-1 standards, ensuring safety for long-term use.
• Made of Medical Grade Polyurethane: Each tube is a single-use device, ETO sterilized, with options for both sterile and non-sterile versions.

Packaging

Available in individual units or in cases of 10, the CORFLO Ultra feeding tube is intended for use by healthcare professionals. It is not designed for reprocessing or reuse, aligning with best practices in medical device management.

Important Considerations

While rare reports of material rupture at the distal tip or splitting have been noted, no patient injuries have been reported. These instances are currently under investigation to ensure continued safety and reliability.

The Avanos CORFLO Ultra feeding tube exemplifies quality and innovation in enteral nutrition delivery, supporting healthcare providers in delivering effective patient care.
