Description
The Avanos 0110-14LV is a MIC* Bolus Gastrostomy Feeding Tube. This traditional-length (long) G-tube is specifically designed for patients on a bolus feeding regimen—where formula is delivered in larger amounts at specific intervals, rather than continuously through a pump.
The "LV" designation stands for Low Volume, which refers to the smaller balloon capacity intended for pediatric or smaller-statured patients.
Key Features
Bolus-Focused Design: Unlike standard G-tubes that have multiple ports, the Bolus model typically features a single, large-bore opening. This allows for the rapid and easy delivery of formula via a syringe.
14 French Diameter: A small-bore tube commonly used for infants and young children.
3–5 mL Balloon (LV): The internal silicone retention balloon is designed for a low-volume fill. This smaller footprint is essential for pediatric patients to prevent the balloon from blocking the gastric outlet (the opening from the stomach to the small intestine).
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction that is soft and flexible to enhance patient comfort.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: A sliding bolster that holds the tube securely at the skin level. It features a ventilated design to allow air to circulate around the stoma, promoting skin health.
Recessed Distal Tip: The tip of the tube is designed to be recessed when the balloon is inflated, minimizing the amount of plastic extending into the stomach and reducing the risk of tissue irritation.
Radiopaque Stripe: A visible line runs the length of the tube to allow for easy confirmation of placement via X-ray.
