$357.95

Description

Size and Dimensions: This is an 8 French (Fr) tube with a length of 43 inches (approximately 109 cm).
Material: It is made of polyurethane, a material chosen for its durability and for providing a larger internal diameter (lumen) compared to other materials like silicone or PVC.
Tip: This is a weighted tube, featuring a 3-gram weight to assist with placement and to help keep the tube in the correct position. The tip also has an "anti-clog" design to help prevent blockages.
Stylet: The tube includes a stylet, which is a semi-rigid guide wire. It is used during insertion to make the tube more rigid and easier to guide through the nose and into the esophagus.
Radiopaque: A radiopaque stripe on the tube makes it visible on X-rays, which is a standard method for a clinician to confirm that the tube has been placed correctly.
Connectors: This model may come with a Universal Connector, an Anti-IV connector, or an ENFit connector. The ENFit connector is an industry standard designed to prevent accidental misconnections with other types of medical lines, such as IVs.
Single-Use: This is a single-use, disposable medical device.

The Avanos 20-2438 is intended for enteral feeding and medication administration.

Nutritional Delivery: It is used to deliver nutritional formulas and fluids, either intermittently or continuously, to patients who cannot eat or drink enough by mouth but whose digestive system is still working.
Nasogastric/Nasointestinal Route: The tube is inserted through the nose and can be placed in either the stomach (nasogastric) or the small intestine (nasointestinal) for the delivery of nutrients.
Medication Administration: It can be used to give liquid or crushed medication to the patient.
Gastric Decompression: The tube can also be used to remove gas and fluid from the stomach.
