The Flocare PUR nasogastric tube is the most comfortable and suitable solution if you receive tube feeding for a short period. The tube (thin, flexible tube) is passed through the nose, via the throat and esophagus, to your stomach or intestines.

The Flocare PUR nasogastric tube is equipped with an ENFit connector. The ENFit connector connects the probe to a Flocare administration system by means of a twist-lock. The ENFit connector contributes to preventing leakage.

The Flocare PUR nasogastric tube is made of comfortable and skin-friendly material, so you experience minimal discomfort from the tube. The Flocare PUR nasogastric tube is replaced after 6-8 weeks. If you have been using tube feeding for more than three weeks, you can discuss with your healthcare provider whether an ostomy tube is suitable.
