TUBE FEEDING ENTERAL 8FR 90CM ***UOM CHANGE-SEE S#326618****

Silicone Enteral Feeding Tubes, Radiopaque Stripe. Orange. 8.0 Frech. 60cm long. Soft medical grade polymers support nutritive sucking, developmental care and improved outcomes. A cost effective solution providing indwell time up to 30 days, minimizing the need for additional tube placements. The semi-encapsulated radiopaque stripe and bold insertion markings to at least 32 cm help confirm placement. No DEHP, no BPA. It has been shown that plugged-style closures such as NeoMed's non-threaded hub design have less bacterial growth than hubs with hidden reservoirs, threads, caps, or ridges. Poor feeding tube hub design including non-swabbable threaded or recessed hubs and caps cause material pooling that allows residual EBM exposure to air and bacteria colonization to occur in less than 4 hours. Contaminated feeding tubes offer a pathway to the gut compromising the health of the gastro-intestinal system. UOM: 10/CS.
