Description
The 8100-14LV is the product code for the Avanos MIC Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube, Low Volume* in a 14 French size.
Like the 12 French version, this is a single-lumen tube designed for direct feeding into the small intestine. The "LV" designation confirms it is specifically sized for pediatric patients or small adults, featuring a shorter jejunal segment and a smaller internal retention balloon to fit limited anatomical space.

Key Features
Anatomically Sized for Pediatrics: The 15 cm length prevents the tube from coiling or migrating too far into the intestinal tract of a child, which can happen with standard-length tubes.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted to help the tube stay positioned in the jejunum via natural peristalsis.
Trimmable Design: Clinicians can trim the distal tip to a custom length during placement to ensure the most comfortable fit for the patient's specific anatomy.
Radiopaque Stripe: The tube is easily visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing for precise verification of the tip's location in the small bowel.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster:* A silicone ring that rests against the skin to secure the tube in place and minimize movement while allowing the stoma site to breathe.
