Reduced surface friction The matt surface reduces surface friction during insertion.
Even distribution of liquid The closed, rounded distal end with two offset lateral eyes permits even distribution of liquid.
No toxic side effects Because of the use from polyadipate, the tube is DEHP free. DEHP cannot get into the body, and the typical toxic effects on the reproductive and hepatic system can be ruled out. In addition, the tube remains soft and flexible for up to four weeks – even during contact with lipid liquids.

PVC makes modern medical application techniques possible and financially feasible. However, the use of PVC products can at times be associated with certain risks.
Long-term exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the plasticizer in PVC, is suspected of having a toxic effect on the reproductive and hepatic systems, among others.
Depending on the environment and the contact time, DEHP can diffuse in large doses from PVC. Solutions containing fats, such as nutritional solutions, even boost this process. For that reason, nasal gastroenteric PVC tubes are high-risk products. The tubes lose their flexibility within a short period and need to be changed. This causes additional stress to the patient and additional costs to the user.
Polyadipates are a risk-free alternative to DEHP. This group of PVC provides extended durabilitiy since the migration of plasiciser is significantly reduced and is not suspected of contributing to the development toxic effects. Even when in contact with fat-containing solutions, products containing polyadipate as a plasticizer remain soft and flexible over a period of up to four weeks.
