The NeoMed FTS5.0S-NC NeoConnect Silicone Feeding Tube with ENFit® Connector is an innovative solution designed to ensure safe and effective enteral feeding. These feeding tubes are crafted from high-quality medical-grade silicone, providing durability and comfort for patients requiring enteral nutrition. 

Key Features and Benefits

High-Quality Medical-Grade Silicone
The NeoConnect Feeding Tube is made from soft, medical-grade silicone, ensuring both durability and patient comfort. Silicone is known for its flexibility and biocompatibility, reducing the risk of irritation and allergic reactions. This material choice ensures that the feeding tube is gentle on delicate tissues, minimizing discomfort for patients who require long-term enteral feeding.

ENFit® Connector System
One of the standout features of the NeoConnect Feeding Tube is its ENFit® connector system. This global enteral connection standard was developed to improve patient safety by reducing the risk of misconnections with non-enteral systems. The ENFit® connectors are designed to prevent accidental misconnections with intravenous or other medical devices, ensuring that enteral feeding remains safe and secure. This feature aligns with international standards for enteral feeding, promoting patient safety and enhancing caregiver confidence.

Size and Versatility
The FTS5.0S-NC model features a 5.0 French size, making it suitable for neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients who require a smaller diameter feeding tube. The tube's length and flexibility make it versatile for various clinical applications, including gastric, nasal, and intestinal feeding. This adaptability allows healthcare providers to use the same high-quality product across different patient demographics, simplifying inventory management and training.

Radiopaque Striping
The feeding tube includes radiopaque striping along its length, which allows for easy verification of tube placement using X-ray imaging. This feature is crucial for ensuring that the tube is correctly positioned within the gastrointestinal tract, reducing the risk of complications associated with improper placement. The ability to confirm placement radiographically enhances patient safety and supports clinical accuracy.

Sterile and Ready-to-Use
Each NeoConnect Silicone Feeding Tube is individually packaged in a sterile environment, ensuring that it is ready-to-use upon opening. This packaging maintains the sterility of the product until it is needed, reducing the risk of infection and contamination. The ready-to-use design simplifies the feeding process for healthcare providers and caregivers, allowing them to focus on patient care.
