Constructed from medical-grade materials optimized for enteral procedures. Typical specifications include:

• Medical-grade PVC or silicone (product may vary by batch) — biocompatible and soft for patient comfort.
• Weighted ball-bearing or tungsten-weighted tip to facilitate duodenal placement.
• Radiopaque line or marker for X-ray confirmation of position.
• 14 French (FG14) external diameter (~4.7 mm) for standard adult/adolescent use.

Intended for trained healthcare professionals. Typical use steps for enteral feeding and decompression:

1. Prepare the patient and use standard infection-control precautions (gloves, aseptic technique).
2. Measure insertion length (nasal tip to earlobe to xiphoid and additional distance for duodenal placement) and mark the tube.
3. Lubricate and insert gently via the nostril, advancing carefully into the stomach and then into the duodenum using anatomical guidance.
4. Confirm placement by radiography (X-ray) or institutional protocol prior to initiating feeds or medications; pH testing alone is not sufficient for post-pyloric confirmation.
5. Secure the tube, connect to enteral feeding system and flush per protocol before and after feeds/medication to maintain patency.
6. Discard after single-use or follow local single-patient reuse policies where applicable and safe.

Designed for clinical settings and patients requiring post-pyloric enteral access:

• Adult and adolescent patients who need duodenal enteral nutrition or medication delivery.
• Intensive care units (ICU), surgical wards, gastroenterology and long-term care facilities.
• Patients with high aspiration risk or gastric emptying disorders who benefit from post-pyloric feeding.
• Trained clinicians, nurses and enteral feeding teams responsible for tube placement and management.

Important safety information and storage guidelines:

• For single patient use unless manufacturer guidance states otherwise. Dispose of according to biomedical waste regulations.
• Confirm tube position radiographically before initiating feeding or medication; incorrect placement can cause aspiration or injury.
• Do not use if packaging is damaged or tube integrity is compromised.
• Contraindications may include severe facial/nasal trauma, uncontrollable coagulopathy and certain esophageal abnormalities; follow institutional protocols.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Keep in original packaging until use to maintain sterility.
