Description
The Avanos 0112-14LV is a MIC* Gastrostomy Feeding Tube (G-tube). It is a standard-length (non-low-profile) feeding tube designed for patients who require long-term enteral nutrition, medication delivery, or gastric decompression directly into the stomach.
The "LV" in the model number typically stands for Low Volume, referring to the smaller balloon size used for smaller patients or those with smaller gastric capacities.
Key Features
Standard-Length Design: Unlike the "button" (low-profile) MIC-KEY* tubes, this is a traditional "long" tube that extends from the stoma.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity silicone to enhance patient comfort and provide a durable, flexible tube body.
Inflatable Retention Balloon: Features a silicone internal balloon to hold the tube in place within the stomach.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: Includes an external bolster that slides down the tube to the skin level, helping to prevent the tube from migrating inward and stabilizing the stoma site.
Dual-Port Head: The external end of the tube features:
Feeding Port: A universal catheter-tip connector for nutritional formulas.
Medication Port: A separate port to allow for the administration of meds without interrupting a primary feeding line.
Radiopaque Stripe: A longitudinal stripe runs the length of the tube to allow for easy visualization and placement confirmation via X-ray.
