Description
This model belongs to the 20-series, meaning it is Styleted (includes a guide wire) and Non-Sterile. The AIV suffix identifies it as a legacy safety version that uses Avanos’s proprietary Anti-IV port rather than the current global ENFit standard.
Key Features
8 French Small-Bore: The most common "mid-size" for pediatric patients and smaller adults. It provides a balance between being thin enough for comfort and wide enough to prevent frequent clogging from standard formulas.
Integrated Insertion Stylet: Includes a pre-inserted stainless steel guide wire to provide the column strength needed for accurate placement. The stylet is removed and discarded once the tube's position in the stomach is confirmed via X-ray or pH testing.
ANTI-IV* Safety Connector: This specialized port is designed to be incompatible with standard Luer syringes. It was a critical safety innovation prior to the ENFit® standard to prevent the accidental administration of enteral feedings into an IV line.
36-inch Length: A versatile length for pediatric and small adult patients, providing enough reach to pass through the nasal cavity into the stomach without the excessive external tubing of adult-length (43 in.) tubes.
Non-Weighted (Clear) Tip: The tube is non-weighted to ensure patient comfort. The clear distal bolus allows for visual confirmation that the tube is clear of debris.
ULTRA-LITE* Polyurethane: Stronger than silicone, this material allows for thinner walls and a larger internal lumen relative to its size, maximizing flow and resisting kinks.
