Polyurethane gastro-duodenal feeding tubes with radiopaque line, closed end and 2 lateral eyes - Length 40 cm (code 1364), 50 cm (code 1361), 75 cm (code 1363) , 125 cm (code 1362), 160 cm (code 1365).
- Markings every centimetre from 5 to 35 cm for feeding tubes measuring 40, 50 and 75 cm; markings every centimetre from 5 to 70 cm for feeding tubes measuring 125 and 160 cm.
- The Nutrisafe 2 connection features a purple colour and specific dimensions so that connecting Nutrisafe 2 to a standard Luer 6% fitting is not possible. Consequently, accidental misconnections between parenteral drugs / solutions and enteral drugs / solutions (particularly in stress situations) are avoided and the right administration route is respected.
- Colour-coded obturator according to diameter.
- For use up to 4 weeks.
Product highlights
In order to respond to the specific needs of neonatology, Vygon promotes an enteral range dedicated to neonates and newborns, called nutrisafe2. This range is compliant with ISO 80369-1.
- Accurate: Dose accuracy is of great importance in the NICU wards, especially for critical drugs administration. For example, the morphine dose for a preterm baby can start at 0.03 ml. Studies have shown that because of fluid displacement there is an overdosing risk with the syringes.
- Safe: Specially designed for neonatal patients, nutrisafe2 is a unique safe enteral feeding system incompatible with Luer and other small-bore connectors in accordance with ISO 80369-1 requirements. The risk of misconnection is minimized, and the patient safety is increased. The lockable system provides additional security. Accidental disconnection is practically impossible, ensuring precious nutrients are received.
- Clean: Feeding tube must not create extra risk to neonates by introducing bacteria into their digestive tract. Studies have shown that the design of ENFit comes with the need of setting up a cleaning procedure, and that even followed thoroughly, only 31% of connectors were off residues. (1) nutrisafe2 is, by design, less prompt to keep residues. Indeed, nutrisafe2 connectors have a less threaded interior to sequester milk or medication and is much smaller. (2)
