Description

The TUBE FEEDING 12FG 43 & STYLET ENTRIFLEX NASOGASTRIC is a specialized medical device designed for patients requiring enteral feeding or medication administration. Its primary function is to provide nutritional support to individuals who cannot safely ingest food orally, ensuring that their dietary needs are met effectively.

Key Features

  • Size and Design: This nasogastric feeding tube features a small bore size of 12 French gauge and a length of 43 inches (109 cm). It is crafted from radiopaque polyurethane, allowing for easy detection via x-ray or fluoroscopy, ensuring accurate placement.

  • Weighted Tip and Stylet: The tube includes a 5g weighted tip and a removable stylet, facilitating smoother insertion and advancement past the pylorus. The stylet aids in guiding the tube to the correct position and is removed once placement is confirmed.

  • Hydrophilic Coating: The tube is coated with Hydromer hydrophilic lubricant, enhancing comfort during insertion by reducing friction.

Safety and Compatibility

  • Connector Design: Equipped with ENFit™ connectors, the tube minimizes the risk of misconnections with luer lock or I.V. connections. The purple feeding port clearly denotes enteral use, further enhancing safety.

  • Y-Port Connector: The Y-Port connector allows for simultaneous medication or fluid delivery without disconnecting the feeding adapter, streamlining the feeding process.

  • MRI Conditional: Once the stylet is removed, the tube is MRI conditional, adding versatility to its use in various medical settings.

Usage Guidelines

  • Placement and Monitoring: The tube is typically advanced to approximately 55 cm and secured to the patient’s nose with tape. Proper placement should be confirmed, ideally through an abdominal x-ray, to ensure correct positioning.

  • Potential Complications: Users should be aware of potential complications such as discomfort, sinusitis, epistaxis, misplacement, aspiration, pressure ulcers, and electrolyte abnormalities. Regular monitoring and adherence to proper technique are crucial for safe use.

Packaging and Brand

  • Packaging Options: The product is available in single units, boxes of 2, or cases of 10, providing flexibility for different healthcare settings.

  • Manufacturers: This tube is associated with reputable manufacturers such as Cardinal Health under the Kangaroo/Entriflex brand, and Kendall, a division of Covidien, ensuring high-quality standards and reliability in medical care.
