Corpak 20-1155 Corflo Enteral Feeding Tube Neonatal 5Fr x 15inch (x)

The Corpak 20-1155 Corflo Enteral Feeding Tube is designed specifically for neonatal patients, offering a safe and efficient means for enteral feeding. This 5 French (Fr) by 15-inch feeding tube is engineered to deliver nutrition to neonates who are unable to ingest food orally due to various medical conditions. The Corflo enteral feeding tube is well-regarded for its durability, patient comfort, and ease of insertion, making it a reliable solution for critical neonatal care.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Neonatal-Specific Design: The Corpak Corflo Enteral Feeding Tube is specifically designed for neonatal patients, providing a delicate and appropriate size for small infants. The 5Fr diameter and 15-inch length are ideal for the tiny anatomy of neonates, ensuring a proper fit that promotes effective feeding and minimizes discomfort.

2. Soft, Flexible Material: This feeding tube is made from medical-grade polyurethane, which offers a perfect balance of flexibility and strength. The soft material reduces the risk of irritation or trauma to delicate neonatal tissues, while the tube’s flexibility allows it to conform to the baby’s body contours. This results in a more comfortable experience for the patient and reduces the likelihood of complications during feeding.

3. Smooth, Atraumatic Insertion: The Corpak 20-1155 Corflo Feeding Tube features a smooth surface and rounded tip, which aid in atraumatic insertion. The tube is designed to glide easily through the esophagus and into the stomach, minimizing friction and reducing the risk of injury. The smooth tip and kink-resistant design further enhance safety and ease of use, making it easier for healthcare providers to position the tube correctly.

4. Radiopaque for Accurate Placement: Ensuring accurate placement is crucial in neonatal enteral feeding. The Corpak Corflo tube is radiopaque, meaning it is visible under X-ray, allowing clinicians to confirm proper placement before initiating feeding. This feature significantly reduces the risk of misplacement and associated complications, such as aspiration.

5. DEHP-Free and Latex-Free: To prioritize patient safety, the Corpak 20-1155 is both DEHP-free and latex-free, eliminating potential allergens and harmful chemicals. This ensures that even the most sensitive patients are not exposed to unnecessary risks, making it a safe choice for neonatal care.

6. Clear Tube Markings: The feeding tube is equipped with clear, easy-to-read markings, enabling precise measurement during insertion. These markings help clinicians gauge the correct insertion depth, ensuring that the tube is positioned accurately for optimal nutrient delivery.

7. Versatile Usage: This neonatal feeding tube is suitable for a wide range of feeding protocols, including continuous feeding, intermittent feeding, and administration of medications. Its versatility makes it an essential tool in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), pediatric wards, and other healthcare settings focused on infant care.

8. Secure Connection and Feeding Port: The tube is designed with a secure feeding port that connects easily to standard enteral feeding sets. This ensures a leak-free connection, reducing the risk of feeding interruptions or spills.

The Corpak 20-1155 Corflo Enteral Feeding Tube Neonatal 5Fr x 15 inch is a high-quality solution for providing essential nutrition to neonates in need of enteral feeding. Its patient-centric design, featuring soft, flexible material, smooth insertion, and clear markings, makes it a trusted choice for neonatal healthcare providers. The tube’s focus on safety, accuracy, and comfort ensures that even the most vulnerable patients receive the nourishment they need while minimizing complications and discomfort.
