Medicina ENFit® 12CH Nasojejunal (NJ) Polyurethane Feeding Tube with Guidewire

The Medicina NJ Feeding Tube provides a reliable solution for patients who require enteral nutrition delivered directly into the small bowel. These tubes are specifically designed for those who cannot tolerate gastric feeding due to impaired motility, severe reflux, or aspiration risks. Constructed from medical-grade polyurethane, these tubes offer a thinner, more comfortable wall than PVC alternatives while remaining durable enough for long-term placement.

Precision Engineering for Post-Pyloric Access

Successful placement in the jejunum requires specialized tools. The Medicina NJ tube features a single open-end feeding port, specifically designed to be passed over a guidewire during endoscopic or radiological procedures. To assist with initial manual insertion, the tube includes an internal guidewire with an ENFit connector, providing the structural integrity needed to navigate the gastrointestinal tract.

Key Features & Benefits

• ENFit® Connector Safety: Compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, the integrated ENFit connection prevents accidental misconnections with IV or other non-enteral medical devices.

• Fully Radiopaque Construction: The entire length of the polyurethane tube is visible under X-ray, allowing for immediate and accurate verification of the tip position.

• Extended 90-Day Use: Engineered for longevity, these tubes are approved for up to 90 days of continuous use, reducing the trauma and cost associated with frequent tube changes.

• Comprehensive Markings: Centimeter markings run throughout the length of the tube to help clinicians monitor for migration and ensure consistent depth.

• Atraumatic Design: Features a side eye hole to ensure consistent flow and a smooth open tip to minimize irritation during insertion.

• Latex & DEHP-Free: Safe for sensitive patients, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions to natural rubber latex or exposure to harmful plasticizers.

Product Specifications

Professional Choice for Enteral Nutrition

Each Medicina NJ Feeding Tube includes a color-coded strap for instant French size identification and a tethered cap to maintain a closed, hygienic system when not in use. By combining advanced materials with strict safety compliance, Medicina ensures that both clinicians and patients experience a more efficient and secure feeding process.

Clinical Note: Always follow hospital protocols for verifying tube position (such as X-ray or pH testing) before the commencement of feeding. For patients at risk of nasal erosion or those on mechanical ventilation, regular monitoring is advised.
