NuTrio Enteral Feeding Tubes

Medela NuTrio enteral feeding products are designed for clinicians and caregivers who need reliable, low-profile access for delivering nutrition and medication directly to the stomach or small intestine. This line is built around the ENFit and TwistLok connection standards, giving you the secure, misconnection-resistant fittings that neonatal and pediatric feeding protocols increasingly require.

Our current NuTrio offering centers on the Medela NuTrio TwistLok Enteral Feeding Tube (6.5 Fr., 20-inch, polyurethane, ENPU2065). The small 6.5 French diameter and shorter length make it well suited to infant and small-pediatric feeding, where minimizing tube profile matters for comfort and tolerance. Polyurethane construction is the reason many clinicians prefer tubes like this one: it softens at body temperature yet resists the stiffening and cracking that can affect PVC over longer dwell times, which supports extended indwelling use without frequent replacement.

If you're comparing tube options, the two questions that usually decide the choice are sizing and connector type. French size should match the patient and the feed viscosity—smaller Fr. for infants and thinner formulas, larger for higher-viscosity feeds. The TwistLok connection locks feeding sets in place to reduce accidental disconnection and helps keep enteral lines from being confused with IV or other tubing, an important safety point in busy care settings.

NuTrio tubes are single-patient-use, sterile devices; confirm placement per your facility protocol before each feeding and flush the tube regularly to prevent clogging. For related supplies, explore feeding pumps, syringes, and connectors in our broader Enteral Feeding collection.
