Description
The Avanos 0112-22J is a MIC* Gastrostomy Feeding Tube (G-tube). This is a standard-length (long) tube designed for adult patients who require direct gastric access for enteral nutrition, medication delivery, or gastric decompression.
Key Features
Large-Flow 22 French Diameter: This is one of the larger standard diameters available for MIC* G-tubes. The 22 Fr size provides a wider internal lumen, making it ideal for the delivery of thicker, blenderized formulas and ensuring highly efficient gastric decompression (venting).
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone. This material is flexible and soft, designed to optimize patient comfort and reduce the risk of tissue irritation over long-term use.
Inflatable Internal Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone balloon holds the tube securely in place within the stomach. For this 22 Fr model, the recommended fill volume is typically 7–10 mL of sterile water.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: This bolster slides down the tube to the skin's surface. Its design holds the tube stable while allowing air to circulate around the stoma, which is critical for maintaining skin integrity and preventing moisture buildup.
Dual-Port External Head:
Feeding Port: A universal catheter-tip connector used for the delivery of enteral nutrition.
Medication Port: A secondary port that allows for water flushes or medication administration without disconnecting the primary feeding line.
Recessed Distal Tip: The design ensures that at recommended fill volumes, the balloon extends beyond the tip of the tube, protecting the gastric wall from irritation or erosion.
Radiopaque Stripe: A longitudinal stripe makes the tube clearly visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy for easy confirmation of the tube's position.
