Description
The 8100-12LV is the product code for the Avanos MIC Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube, Low Volume* in a 12 French size.
Unlike the "G-E" tubes discussed previously, the 8100 series is a single-lumen device designed exclusively for jejunal feeding. The "LV" (Low Volume) designation means it is specifically optimized for pediatric patients or small-stature adults.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: 8100-12LV
Size: 12 Fr (Outer Diameter)
Jejunal Length: 15 cm (Significantly shorter than standard J-tubes)
Balloon Volume: 2–3 ml (Smallest balloon capacity for tight gastric/jejunal spaces)
Connector: ENFit® Connector (Purple-coded to prevent tubing misconnections)
Material: Medical-grade, high-clarity silicone
Sterility: Sterile (Single-use)
Key Features
Pediatric Optimization: The 15 cm length and 2–3 ml balloon are tailored for infants and children. A standard adult J-tube is often too long, which can lead to kinking or the tip being positioned too deep in the small intestine.
Trimmable Distal Tip: While the length is pre-set at 15 cm, the distal end can often be custom-trimmed by a clinician to perfectly match the patient's internal anatomy before final placement.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Helps maintain the tube's position in the small bowel through gravity and peristalsis, reducing the risk of the tube migrating back into the stomach.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster:* A small silicone ring that sits against the skin to prevent the tube from sliding inward, while allowing the stoma site to remain aerated.
Radiopaque Stripe: Entire tube length is visible under fluoroscopy or X-ray to confirm correct placement.
