Entriflex Nasogastric Feeding Tubes

Entriflex nasogastric feeding tubes from Cardinal Health are designed for reliable enteral nutrition delivery in clinical and home care settings. Made from radiopaque polyurethane, these tubes allow clear placement confirmation under X-ray, giving clinicians confidence that the tube is correctly positioned before feeding begins. The polyurethane construction is softer and more patient-tolerant than PVC over extended dwell times, and every tube in this line is DEHP-free.

A defining feature here is the ENFit safe enteral connection, which meets the ISO 80369-3 standard to prevent dangerous tubing misconnections between enteral and IV or other medical systems. If your facility is transitioning to ENFit-compliant supplies, these 3G-generation tubes are built to that specification.

We carry the 8 Fr, 43-inch Entriflex in two configurations to match different placement workflows. The stylet version (8884720858) includes a guidewire for easier, more controlled insertion—useful for less mobile patients or when passage is difficult—while the without-stylet version (8884720841) suits routine placements where a stylet isn't needed. Both share the same rigid outlet port for secure feeding-set attachment.

Choosing between them usually comes down to insertion difficulty and clinician preference: keep stylet tubes on hand for challenging placements and stylet-free tubes for straightforward cases. The 8 Fr diameter is a small-bore size well suited to formula feeding and medication administration where patient comfort during longer-term use matters.

Entriflex tubes are a staple for hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and home enteral nutrition programs that need dependable, safety-connection-compliant feeding access. Reorder in the configurations that fit your patient population, and pair them with compatible ENFit feeding sets and syringes to keep your enteral supply chain aligned.
