Corflo Nasogastric Feeding Tubes

The Corflo line from Avanos Medical is a clinical standard for enteral nutrition, engineered for patients who need reliable nasogastric feeding across a wide range of care settings — from neonatal ICUs to long-term care and home health. Every tube in this collection is made from soft, kink-resistant polyurethane that stays supple during extended dwell times, reducing patient discomfort and the risk of nasal tissue irritation compared with stiffer PVC alternatives.

Clinicians choosing a Corflo tube are usually deciding on three things: French size, tube length, and whether they need a stylet for placement. This collection covers the practical span of those needs. The Corflo Ultra tubes come in 5, 6, 8, and 10 French with 36- and 43-inch lengths, available sterile or non-sterile depending on your protocol — for example, the 5 Fr. sterile (20-1365) suits smaller-bore feeding, while the 10 Fr. options (20-1431, 20-5431) support higher-viscosity formula and easier flow.

For the most delicate placements, the Corflo Ultra Lite (40-9366) is designed for adult, pediatric, and neonatal use in a single 6 French tube. It ships sterile with a stylet for guided insertion and includes ENFit connectors, meeting the ISO 80369-3 small-bore standard that helps prevent dangerous tubing misconnections. Its bowed-tip bolus design aids radiographic placement confirmation.

When selecting between styleted and non-styleted versions, remember the stylet stiffens the tube for initial passage and is removed once position is verified — a benefit for difficult placements, though many facilities keep non-styleted stock (like 20-5431) for routine replacements. Sterile tubes are typically preferred for pediatric and immunocompromised patients.
