The Avanos Corflo Nasogastric Feeding Tube Anti-Clog With Enfit Connectors 6Fr – All Sizes represents a significant advancement in nasogastric feeding technology. Designed by Avanos Medical, a trusted leader in enteral access, this tube addresses the persistent clinical challenge of tube clogging. The proprietary anti-clog bolus minimizes friction and buildup at the distal end, ensuring consistent delivery of nutrition and medications. Constructed from soft, biocompatible polyurethane that becomes more flexible at body temperature, the tube enhances patient comfort during indwelling periods. Available with ENFit®, Universal, or Anti-IV connectors, the CORFLO® tube accommodates varying institutional safety protocols. Choose from 6Fr (ideal for pediatric or narrow anatomy) through larger French sizes, with weighted or non-weighted tips, and with or without a flow-through stylet.

Key Features & Benefits

• Anti-Clog Bolus: Unique distal tip design reduces clog formation, decreasing irrigation needs, tube replacements, and feeding interruptions. Maintains reliable flow for the full recommended dwell time.
• ENFit® Connector (on this model): The ENFit® proximal connector is physically incompatible with Luer lock and IV lines, eliminating misconnection risk as recommended by ISO 80369-3 and JCAHO safety alerts.
• Water-Activated Lubricated Tip & Internal Lumen (Stylet Tubes): Upon contact with moisture (saliva or water flush), the tip and lumen become slippery, enabling smooth, atraumatic nasal passage and reducing patient trauma during insertion.
• Flow-Through Stylet: Unique hollow stylet design allows flushing or aspiration while the stylet remains in place, streamlining procedures and minimizing manipulation steps.
• Centimeter Markings (CM Markings): Clear, precise markings along the entire tube length facilitate accurate placement confirmation and ongoing monitoring of tube position at the bedside.
• Radiopaque Line: Integrated radiopaque stripe ensures clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy for definitive placement verification.
• MRI Conditional: After stylet removal, the tube is MRI conditional under specified parameters, allowing imaging without tube replacement.
• Multiple Configurations: Available in all French sizes (including 6Fr, 8Fr, 10Fr, 12Fr, etc.), various lengths, weighted or non-weighted tips, and with or without stylet to match clinical needs.
