Is this tube compatible with ENFit systems?
Yes, it is fully equipped with a standardized ENFit connector. This ensures a secure, leak-proof connection for all your feeding, flushing, and medication administration needs.

It is engineered to minimize clogging. The tube features two side ports at the distal end, which help maintain consistent fluid flow and significantly reduce the risk of internal occlusions.

Are there markings on the tube to help with positioning?
Yes, the tube includes clear, centimeter-graduated markings along its length, which allows for precise positioning and easy verification of the insertion depth.
What material is this tube made from?
It is constructed from premium, medical-grade polyurethane. This material is chosen for being kink-resistant and transparent, allowing you to easily monitor the fluid content during delivery.
Is the tube flexible enough for pediatric use?
Yes, the polyurethane construction provides a balance of flexibility for patient comfort while remaining durable enough to prevent kinking during use.
Why is the connector purple?
