Avanos FTS5.0S-NC NeoConnect Silicone Enteral Feeding Tube with ENFit Connector

This product is intended for use in neonatal and pediatric patients to provide nutrition via nasal or oral gastric placement and is not intended for use beyond 30 days.

The NeoMed feeding tube is not intended for individual use longer than 30 days, or in patients with congenital anomalies of the GI tract above the stomach requiring surgical intervention. Follow the hospital feeding tube replacement and maintenance procedures or current ADA recommendations as applicable.

• Soft medical grade silicone supports nutritive and reduces the risk of nipple aversion; this allows for earlier patient discharge and thus lower healthcare costs
• Cost effective solution providing indwell time up to 30 days, minimizing the need for additional tube placements
• Semi-encapsulated radiopaque stripe and bold insertion markings to at least 32 cm help confirm placement.
• No DEHP, no BPA; nonthreaded hub features less bacteria growth as compared to products with hidden reservoirs, threads, caps or ridges
• Feature open distal tips without sharp edges or hidden cavities that allow for complete drainage to reduce opportunity for bacteria growth; large cut holes can allow tissue migration into the port holes, resulting in broken distal tips or torn/plugged tissue upon removal; NeoMed feeding tube holes are precision drilled in, instead of cut

NeoConnect Feeding Tubes

• Open hub design allows visualization and helps mitigate accumulation of HBM and formula that can foster bacterial growth
• Recess-free plug design with wave pattern enhances compliance with cleaning protocols, allows airflow through the hub, and helps reduce bacterial growth1
• Open distal tip (PUR and SIL) with three offset side port holes to help reduce residual colonization associated with closed distal tip feeding tubes
• Securely tethered closure helps reduce risk of separation from feeding tube hub

Advance Features of Avanos NeoConnect Silicone Enteral Feeding Tube with ENFit Connector

Open distal tip with no sharp edges or hidden cavities helps eliminates residual colonization.	Radiopaque stripe and bold insertion markings at each centimeter help confirm placement	Three offset side portholes help reduce residual colonization

NeoConnects open hub design and the associated cleaning tool assist clinicians in the care and maintenance of ENFit feeding tube hubs and their threaded connectors.	Bottomless design allows visualization and eliminates a floor where HBM/formula can accumulate, fostering bacterial growth.	NeoMed offers a plug closure designed to protect the feeding tube opening from hub debris migration that may occur with other "cap" closure systems.	Wave pattern allows airflow through the hub, which helps reduce bacterial growth
