CORFLO Feeding Tube Design Technology

• The exit port is more than 300 percent wider than the internal feeding tube diameter, which greatly decreases the occurrence of clogging
• There are no slots, holes, ridges, or right angles for trapping solids or congealed feeding materials for unimpeded flow
• Facilitates aspiration by minimizing the possibility for mucosal adherence
• Braided stylet terminates in front of the contoured tip preventing accidental emergence from the exit port

 

Caution- A feeding tube is very effective when initially placed properly by a trained physician
