The Kid-man sterile feeding tube CH 10 is a high-quality medical device designed for safe and efficient enteral nutrition. Measuring 500mm in length, this tube is constructed from soft, kink-resistant PVC with a frosted surface, ensuring both durability and ease of handling during clinical procedures. The design prioritizes patient comfort and safety, featuring an atraumatic rounded tip and a phthalate-free, latex-free composition.
Advantages
This feeding tube offers significant clinical benefits, including a radiopaque line that runs the entire length of the catheter for easy visualization under X-ray. The inclusion of two side holes with gently stretched edges minimizes the risk of tissue irritation, while the depth markings every 1 cm allow for precise placement. The connector is fully compatible with standard Luer syringes, and the integrated stopper provides a secure seal when the tube is not in use. Its kink-resistant material ensures consistent flow, and the color-coded connector simplifies size identification for medical staff.
