Avanos Cortrak2 Nasointestinal Feeding Tube – Precision Guided Enteral Access

The Avanos Cortrak2 Nasointestinal Feeding Tube represents the pinnacle of enteral access technology, combining the trusted CORFLO* anti-clog design with advanced electromagnetic guidance. Specifically developed for use with the CORTRAK 2 Enteral Access System*, these tubes allow clinicians to visualize the tube’s path in real-time during insertion. This guided “GPS-like” technology ensures accurate placement into the stomach or small intestine, significantly reducing the risks associated with blind insertions and minimizing the need for confirmatory X-rays.

Advanced Safety and Anti-Clog Technology

Every Avanos Cortrak2 Nasointestinal Feeding Tube is constructed from high-quality, radiopaque polyurethane, finished in a distinctive yellow for immediate identification as an enteral line. To ensure reliable performance, the tube utilizes C-19™ hydrophilic lubricant—a water-activated coating on both the tip and internal lumen that facilitates smooth insertion and easy stylet removal. The patented anti-clog exit port ensures that even high-viscosity formulas and medications flow freely without obstruction.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated Electromagnetic Stylet: Features a pre-inserted, braided stainless steel stylet with a transmitting coil, enabling immediate bedside verification of the tube’s trajectory.

• ENFit® Global Standard: Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 safety standards to prevent dangerous tubing misconnections with IV or Luer systems.

• Dual-Port Functionality: The integrated dual port allows healthcare providers to flush the line or deliver medications simultaneously without disconnecting the primary feeding line.

• Enhanced Visibility: The tube is clearly printed with French size, length, and centimeter (cm) markings, while the radiopaque material ensures visibility under fluoroscopy if needed.

• Patient-Centric Design: Once the stylet is removed, the polyurethane tube is MRI Safe (up to 3 Tesla), allowing for continuous nutritional support even during diagnostic imaging.

• Multiple Size Options: Available in a range of sizes including 8Fr, 10Fr, and 12Fr to accommodate adult and pediatric clinical needs.

The Professional Choice for Reliable Nutrition

The Avanos Cortrak2 Nasointestinal Feeding Tube is more than just a feeding line; it is a comprehensive safety system. By reducing the time to the first feeding and improving placement success on the first attempt, it provides a cost-effective and patient-friendly solution for hospitals and critical care units worldwide.

Clinical Note: To activate the internal and external lubrication, ensure the tube is flushed with water prior to insertion. The electromagnetic stylet must be removed according to the CORTRAK* 2 system protocols once final placement is confirmed.
