Kangaroo Nasogastric Feeding Tubes are manufactured by Kendall, a division of Covidien. These Entriflex Nasogastric Feeding Tubes are constructed with radiopaque polyurethane and have a rigid outlet port. This weighted, polyurethane feeding tube is designed for nasogastric and naso duodenal feeding with a slimmer, lighter, weighted tip for easier insertion. The feeding port is incompatible with luer-lock or I.V. connections, reducing the risk of accidental connection or infusion. Available with safe, enteral connections to address the 2006 JCAHO Tubing Misconnections Sentinel Alert.
