PVC Pediatric Feeding Tube

Features

The pediatric feeding tube is designed for safe and effective enteral nutrition delivery in neonates, infants, and pediatric patients. It is widely used in hospitals for short-term feeding and gastric access.

Pediatric Feeding Tube made from DEHP-free medical-grade PVC, the tube ensures safety for sensitive patient groups while maintaining sufficient flexibility and strength for easy insertion.

Key Features

DEHP-Free Material: Non-DEHP PVC construction reduces the risk of plasticizer leaching, making it safer for long-term neonatal use.

Precision Markings: Features clear, indelible graduation marks every 1cm from 5cm to 25cm, allowing clinicians to monitor placement depth with absolute accuracy.

Radiopaque Performance: An integrated X-ray opaque line (radiopaque stripe) runs the full length of the tube to ensure rapid and secure position verification under imaging.

Atraumatic Design: The distal tip is rounded and polished to minimize mucosal irritation during the intubation process.

Color-Coded Caps:

The proximal end is equipped with an integrated plug cap, color-coded by size (5Fr, 6Fr, 8Fr, 10Fr) for quick identification and improved clinical efficiency.

• Q

  What is the primary material used in this pediatric feeding tube?

  A

  Our tubes are made from medical-grade, DEHP-free PVC. This ensures the tube is soft enough for neonatal comfort while eliminating the risks associated with phthalate plasticizers.

• Q

  How is the placement of the tube verified?

  A

  The tube features a continuous X-ray opaque line along its entire length, allowing healthcare professionals to easily verify the precise location of the tube via X-ray imaging.

• Q

  What is the purpose of centimeter markings on feeding tubes?

  A

  The centimeter markings help clinicians measure insertion depth accurately, ensuring correct placement and improving patient safety.

• Q

  How long can a pediatric feeding tube be used?

  A

  PVC pediatric feeding tubes are typically used for short-term feeding, depending on clinical conditions and hospital protocols.

• Q

  Are the connectors compatible with different sizes?

  A

  Each size (5Fr, 6Fr, 8Fr, 10Fr) comes with a color-coded connector and integrated cap. This international coding system helps medical staff quickly select the correct size and ensures a secure, leak-proof seal.
