Utah 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.
