Description

The ENFit Corflo Ultra Nasogastric/Nasointestinal Feeding Tube, crafted by Avanos, is designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of enteral feeding for patients across all age groups, including adults, pediatrics, and neonates. This specialized medical device is intended for both nasogastric and nasoenteric feeding, providing a reliable solution for continuous or intermittent nutrition and medication administration.

Key Features

• ENFit® Connector: Compliant with ISO 80369 standards, the ENFit® connector significantly reduces the risk of misconnections with non-enteral devices, ensuring patient safety. Some models also feature a universal connector compatible with Luer and oral syringes, along with an ANTI-IV* connector.

• Anti-Clog Design: The tube's exit port is over 300% larger than its internal diameter, effectively minimizing clogging and ensuring consistent flow. This feature is complemented by an ultra-smooth, water-activated lubricated tip that reduces tissue damage during placement.

• Radiopaque Material: For easy X-ray visualization, the tube is made from radiopaque material, with some models featuring a radiopaque stripe. It is also MRI conditional when the stylet is removed, suitable for MRI environments up to 3 TESLA.

Construction and Design

• Material: Constructed from clear, soft, and pliable polyurethane, the tube offers comfort and allows for visual inspection. It is color-coded in purple or yellow to clearly indicate enteral use.

• Stylet Options: Available with a flow-through stylet for easier insertion and removal, including a braided design option. The tube also comes in non-weighted and weighted tip configurations (0g, 3g, 7g) to suit various clinical needs.

• Length and Size Variability: Offered in French sizes ranging from 5 Fr to 12 Fr and lengths from 38 cm to 140 cm, the tube provides flexibility to meet specific patient requirements. Centimeter markings aid in accurate placement and migration monitoring.

Packaging and Sterilization

• Packaging: The tubes are available individually or in cases of 10, with packaging dimensions and weight varying by configuration.

• Sterilization: Depending on the model, tubes are available in sterile or non-sterile forms, with some requiring sterilization prior to use. Visual inspection is recommended to maintain cleanliness and proper placement.

Compatibility and Compliance
