Nasogastric （NG） Feeding Tube with Stylet & ENFit Connector

Features

ENFit Nasogasric (NG) Feeding Tube with Stylet

The ENFit NG feeding tube with stylet is designed for safe and efficient enteral nutrition delivery via nasogastric or nasoenteric routes. The pre-inserted stylet improves insertion control and placement accuracy, making it ideal for bedside procedures.

The ENFit connector system complies with international safety standards, reducing the risk of misconnections and ensuring secure feeding.

Key Features

• Accurate placement with preloaded stylet (guidewire)
• ENFit connector for improved safety and secure connection
• Polyurethane material for flexibility and patient comfort
• Smooth rounded tip for easier insertion
• Radiopaque line for X-ray verification

1.The stylet uses 304 stainless steel with a fine spring, undergoing a special surface treatment process to achieve moderate softness and hardness, ensuring good passage during insertion and strong compliance.

2.The guidewire tip features a smooth, rounded design to avoid scratching the catheter’s inner wall.

The nasogastric feeding tube is embedded with an Radiopaque X-ray line. Depending on different customer needs, we can provide single barium, double barium, triple barium, and full Radiopaque options. The tube tip is equipped with a high barium ratio gravity head, providing the same imaging and focusing effect under X-ray, making it easier to determine the tube position;

• Q

  What is the difference between a nasogastric (NG) tube and a nasojejunal tube?

  A

  A nasogastric tube delivers nutrition directly into the stomach, while a nasojejunal tube passes further into the small intestine. NG tubes are typically used for short-term feeding, while NJ tubes are preferred when gastric feeding is not suitable.

• Q

  How long can a TPU Nasogastric (NG) tube stay in?

  A

  Unlike standard PVC tubes that harden over time, our medical-grade TPU (Polyurethane) NG tubes are designed for long-term use, typically staying indwelling for up to 30 days. This reduces the frequency of tube replacements and enhances patient comfort.

• Q

  What is an ENFit connector and why is it important?

  A

  The ENFit connector complies with the ISO 80369-3 international standard. It is specifically designed to prevent accidental misconnections between enteral feeding systems and other medical delivery systems (like IV lines), ensuring maximum patient safety.

• Q

  How do I choose the right size (Fr) for an NG Feeding Tube?

  A

  We offer sizes ranging from 8Fr to 18Fr. Generally, smaller sizes (8Fr-10Fr) are used for liquid nutrition, while larger sizes like 16Fr or 18Fr are preferred for thicker formulas or when gastric decompression is required. We also provide customizable lengths to meet clinical needs.

• Q

  What is an NG tube used for?

  A

  An NG tube is used for: Enteral feeding and nutrition support Medication administration Gastric decompression and drainage It is widely used in hospitals, especially in ICU and post-surgical care.

• Q

  What are the benefits of a TPU feeding tube vs. a PVC tube?

  A

  TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is superior to PVC because it is more biocompatible, remains soft at body temperature, and is DEHP-free and Latex-free. It does not leach harmful plasticizers, making it much safer and more comfortable for patients during long-term enteral nutrition.
