The Medtronic Kangaroo Polyurethane Feeding Tube is designed to deliver safe and reliable enteral nutrition for neonatal and pediatric patients managing feeding needs at home. This sterile nasogastric feeding tube measures 6.5 French (2.2 mm) in diameter and 36 inches (91 cm) in length, offering a comfortable size for younger patients requiring tube feeding support. Made from soft, medical-grade polyurethane, the tube is both latex-free and DEHP-free, making it gentle and safe for patients with sensitivities. Each box contains 10 individually sterile tubes, ensuring convenient access for ongoing care. The transparent tube features a purple radiopaque Sentinel Line and Sentinel Eye markings that help caregivers and healthcare providers confirm proper tube placement and monitor for any movement or migration. Depth markings from 5 to 25 cm provide a visual reference to assist with accurate placement and regular checks. The tube's ENFit connection is engineered to reduce the risk of dangerous tubing misconnections, as the feeding port is incompatible with IV or luer lock connections. The distinctive purple color clearly indicates that the tube is intended for enteral feeding only, helping prevent medication errors and ensuring nutrition is delivered safely. Compatible with ENFit syringes and extension sets, the Kangaroo feeding tube offers a secure, reliable connection for delivering formula, medication, or liquids to infants and children who need nutritional support at home.
