The Medicina 5-12Fr ENFit Nasogastric Purple Feeding Tube Polyurethane – All Sizes is engineered for clinicians seeking a reliable, safe, and patient-comfortable nasogastric feeding solution. Manufactured from high-grade polyurethane, this tube offers greater strength and a thinner wall compared to PVC, allowing for a larger internal diameter while maintaining external French sizes. The ENFit® compliant connector meets global enteral safety standards, preventing accidental misconnections with IV lines. Available in a full range of sizes (5Fr to 12Fr) and optional weighted tip configurations, this tube is ideal for both decompression and nutritional support in hospitalized or long-term care patients.

Key Features & Benefits

• ENFit® Compliant Connector: Ensures safe, secure connection to enteral syringes and feeding sets, reducing the risk of tubing misconnections as recommended by ISO 80369-3.
• Polyurethane Construction: Biocompatible, DEHP-free, and latex-free material maintains flexibility at body temperature while resisting kinking and degradation from gastric acid.
• Radio-Opaque Stripe & Full Centimeter Markings: Enables precise placement verification under X-ray and easy depth monitoring throughout the tube length.
• Rounded Tip & Two Side Eye Holes: Atraumatic closed tip facilitates smooth insertion and minimizes mucosal trauma; dual eye holes ensure consistent flow even if one port becomes occluded.
• Color-Coded Purple Strap: Each tube includes a strap color-matched to the French size for instant identification at the bedside, reducing sizing errors.
• Tethered Cap: Integrated cap keeps the connector clean between feeds without risk of loss; allows easy closing for decompression or medication administration.
• Extended Use Capability: Designed for up to 90 days of use (subject to hospital guidelines for nasal erosion and ventilated patients), reducing replacement frequency.
