Medical's Nutri-Cath® is a nasogastric, orogastric or nasojejunal
catheter used for enteral feeding in the neonatal or pediatric intensive
care setting. Nutri-Cath® can indwell for up to 30 days. It avoids
multiple placements with a non-stiffening, non-clogging, biocompatible
silicone material.
EASY: Non-wettable silicone material is ideal for nasogastric or nasojejunal
feeding.
VERSATILE: Also allows for sampling.
SAFE: Soft open end will not perforate, clog or adhere to lining of
stomach during sampling.
COST EFFECTIVE: Saves nursing time and reduces feeding tube usage.
PATIENT COMFORT: Soft, biocompatible silicone does not irritate or
scratch nares like stiffer materials. Because Nutri-Cath® can
be left in for up to 30 days, it avoids multiple repeat placements
which lead to oral aversion and hyperactive gag reflex.
Because
it is silicone, Nutri-Cath® can indwell for up to 30 days without
adverse effects. In comparison to feeding tubes, it avoids the need
for frequent placements that are highly traumatic to a newborn's delicate
tissues.
Nutri-Cath® has a soft open end port and two opposing side ports (see image right) to provide rapid diffusion of enteral formula without clogging. Polyurethane and PVC feeding tubes have closed ends, which eventually occlude and must be changed.
Outstanding Clinical Features
1. Non-wettable silicone material will not perforate,
clog or adhere to lining of stomach during sampling.
2. Less interruption of important sleep cycles because it is softer.
3. Barium sulfate-loaded catheter is highly visible under x-ray for
easy verification of tip placement.
4. Orange hub identifies enteral-only connection to prevent accidental
medication infusion.
5. Depth markings graduated every centimeter.
6. Choice of standard Luer lock connector for continuous feed connection
or oral dose connector for intermittent feeding.
7. Four sizes: 3.5 French, 5 French, 6.5 French, and 8 French sizes
accommodate the full range of babies, even 500g premies.
8. All sizes available in the following lengths: 40 cm, 58 cm, 93
cm.
9. DEHP Free.
AVOIDING MISCONNECTIONS WITH NUTRI-LOK®
With
the reported increase(1) in accidental misconnections of enteral feeds
to IV lines, Utah Medical has augmented Nutri-Cath® with the Nutri-Lok®
adaptor (see image right). Nutri-Lok® is a family of locking enteral-feeding
only extension sets that eliminates the risk of mating an IV line
with enteral feeds. (1) "Tubing Misconnections - A Persistent
and Deadly Occurrence," JCAHO Sentinel Event Issue 36.
Will not mate with a female luer IV line connector.
Ensures a secure connection that will not accidentally slip apart.
Is compatible via slip fit with other oral dose enteral feeding catheters,
but only LOCKS with Nutri-Cath®.
DEHP-Free.
Patent Pending.
Even if you already meet JCAHO requirements for
all oral enteral feeding systems, are you still taking unnecessary
chances? Competitive oral sets 
and
syringes connect via slip fit - when enteral solutions are administered,
the connections may become slippery and can easily disconnect. With
Nutri-Lok® locking extension sets and syringes, the secure locking
connections are designed to reduce accidental disconnects.
Nutri-Lok® oral dispensing syringes have an orange tip and printing
to denote enteral feeding only.
Monoject™ syringes: For easy recognition by existing syringe
pumps.
Patent(s) Pending.
