NASOGASTRIC TUBE, ENFit tip

Definition

A sterile, thin, flexible, hollow cylinder intended to access the stomach of a patient through the nose and nasopharynx primarily for enteral feeding and the administration of medications, either by gravity or with a pump. It is typically a single-lumen plastic tube of various diameters (typically smaller than those of nasogastric tubes intended primarily for decompression) with circular markings that serve as insertion guides.

The NG-tube is designed with a specific ENFit end so that you can only use products designed for enteral/tube feeding access.
