Description

Key Features:

  • Size and Dimensions: This tube has a diameter of 8 French (Fr) and a length of 36 inches (approximately 91 cm).

  • Weighted Tip: It features a 3-gram tungsten-filled weighted tip to help facilitate and maintain proper placement in the stomach or intestines.

  • Stylet: The tube comes with a stylet to provide rigidity during insertion, making it easier to guide the tube into the correct position. The stylet is also "flow-through," allowing for flushing and aspiration during the placement procedure.

  • Material: It is made of polyurethane, a material that offers durability and a larger internal diameter compared to PVC or silicone tubes of the same size.

  • Radiopaque: The tube is fully radiopaque, meaning it is visible on X-rays, which is a standard method for confirming accurate placement.

  • Anti-Clog Bolus: The tip of the tube is designed with an "anti-clog" feature to significantly reduce the risk of clogging, which can be a common issue with enteral feeding.

  • MRI Conditional: Once the stylet is removed, the device is considered "MR Conditional," allowing for its safe use in an MRI environment under specific conditions.

  • Connectors: This specific model can come with various connectors, including Universal and Anti-IV connectors, depending on the product variation. It is important to check the specific package to determine the connector type.

  • Lubricated Tip: The tip and internal lumen are coated with a water-activated lubricant to enhance patient comfort during insertion and to facilitate the removal of the stylet.

Uses and Applications:

The Avanos 20-7368 is primarily used for enteral feeding and medication administration in adult patients.

  • Nutritional Support: It is designed to provide intermittent or continuous tube feedings to patients who are unable to swallow or consume food orally but have a functional digestive system.

  • Nasogastric or Nasointestinal Route: The tube is inserted through the nose and can be placed in either the stomach (nasogastric) or the small intestine (nasointestinal) for nutrient and medication delivery.

  • Gastric Decompression: It can also be used to remove gastric contents for decompression purposes.
