CORFLO Nasogastric/Nasointestinal Feeding Tube with Stylet and ENFit Connector FAQs
What is the purpose of a stylet?
A stylet is a stiff wire that is inserted into the feeding tube during placement to make it firmer and easier to guide into the stomach or small intestine. Once the tube is in place, the stylet is removed.
Why is the ENFit connector important?
The ENFit connector is a standardized safety feature designed to help reduce the risk of tubing misconnections. It has a unique design that only connects to other ENFit compatible devices, preventing accidental connections to IV lines or other types of medical tubing.
What are the benefits of the water-activated lubricated tip?
The lubricated tip helps to:
- Reduce friction: Makes insertion of the tube more comfortable for the patient.
- Minimize trauma: Reduces the risk of damage to the nasal passages or throat during insertion.
