Product Overview
The Pennine Infant Feeding Tube is a sterile, single-use nasogastric tube designed specifically for probe feeding and the internal administration of liquids or medicine to premature or small infants. Constructed from gastric acid resistant material, this 8FG tube maintains its integrity during long-term use, ensuring consistent and safe delivery of nutrition or medication without alteration to its character.
Measuring 40cm in length with a tube diameter of 2.66mm, this blue-coloured NGT features a transparent frozen surface for easy and atraumatic introduction, a soft rounded tip, and two lateral eyes for even distribution of food or liquid. A Luer female connector with plug ensures a secure, tight connection to any Luer socket syringe, while a built-in x-ray line allows for reliable position control during clinical use — meeting the high standards expected in Australian hospital and neonatal care settings.
Features & Benefits
Atraumatic Introduction — The transparent frozen surface allows for smooth, atraumatic insertion, minimising discomfort and trauma during nasogastric tube placement in premature or small infants.
Soft Rounded Tip — A soft, rounded tip reduces the risk of mucosal injury during insertion, making it suitable for the delicate anatomy of neonatal and small infant patients.
Dual Lateral Eyes — Two lateral eyes ensure even distribution of food, liquid, or medicine along the feeding tube, reducing the risk of blockage and promoting consistent delivery.
Gastric Acid Resistant Material — Manufactured from gastric acid resistant material, the tube does not alter in character during long-term use, supporting extended nasogastric feeding protocols in clinical settings.
Secure Luer Female Connector — The Luer female connector with plug provides a tight, reliable connection to Luer socket syringes, preventing leakage and ensuring accurate delivery of fluids or medication.
X-Ray Radiopaque Line — An integrated x-ray line enables position verification through radiographic imaging, supporting safe and compliant nasogastric tube placement in neonatal and paediatric care.
Sterile & Single-Use — Each tube is individually sterile packaged and intended for single use, supporting infection control protocols and clinical hygiene standards in Australian healthcare facilities.
8FG / 2.66mm Tube Diameter — The 8 French gauge diameter of 2.66mm is appropriately sized for nasogastric feeding in premature and small infants, balancing patient comfort with effective fluid administration.
