Description
The Avanos 0112-20J is a MIC* Gastrostomy Feeding Tube (G-tube). This is a standard-length (long) tube designed for patients who require direct gastric access for long-term enteral nutrition, medication delivery, or gastric decompression.
The model number specifies a 20 French diameter. The "J" suffix in this product line indicates a specific kit configuration that is often used as a precursor to a Transgastric Jejunal (G-J) feeding setup or features a specialized tip to facilitate jejunal placement.
Key Features
20 French Diameter: A robust diameter that allows for high-flow delivery of thicker nutritional formulas and efficient gastric decompression while remaining compatible with standard stoma tracts.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that is flexible, durable, and designed to minimize tissue irritation at the stoma site.
Inflatable Internal Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone balloon holds the tube securely in the stomach. For a 20 Fr tube, the recommended fill volume is typically 7–10 mL of sterile water.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: This bolster slides down the tube to sit flush against the skin. It holds the tube in place and features a design that allows air to circulate around the stoma, promoting better skin health.
Dual-Port External Head:
Feeding Port: Features a universal connector (catheter-tip) for the delivery of enteral nutrition and fluids.
Medication Port: A secondary port that allows for the administration of medication or water flushes without interrupting the primary feeding line.
Recessed Distal Tip: Designed to reduce gastric wall irritation by ensuring the balloon covers the tip of the tube at recommended fill volumes.
Radiopaque Stripe: A longitudinal stripe makes the tube clearly visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to verify the tube's position easily.
