Description
The Avanos 50-4320 is a 20 French CORFLO* Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) Safety Feeding Tube Kit, specifically designed for the Conical Bumper / PUSH Over-the-Wire (OTW) placement method.
While it shares the same tube size and placement technique as the 50-4020, the "Safety" designation indicates that this kit includes specific sharps-safety components (such as protected needles and scalpel) to help prevent accidental needlesticks and improve clinician safety during the surgical procedure.
Key Features
20 French Large-Bore Diameter: The standard adult size, providing a wide internal lumen that is highly resistant to clogging and allows for high-flow nutrition and medication delivery.
Conical Retention Bumper: Features a collapsible internal bumper shaped like a cone. This design provides secure internal fixation while allowing for traction removal—meaning the tube can be pulled out through the stoma once healed without needing a secondary endoscopic procedure.
PUSH Placement Method: Designed for the "Push" technique, where the tube is pushed over a guide wire into the stomach and positioned endoscopically.
Enhanced Safety Kit Components: This "Safety" kit includes shielded or protected sharps, such as a Safety Seldinger Needle and a Safety Scalpel, designed to meet OSHA and hospital safety standards for procedure-based kits.
Biocompatible Polyurethane: Stronger and more durable than silicone, this material resists bacterial colonization and degradation from gastric acid, often allowing the tube to last for several years.
ENFit® Safety Connector: Includes the purple ISO-standard ENFit® adapter to ensure the tube is only compatible with enteral feeding sets, eliminating the risk of accidental IV connection.
