Description
The 8100-16LV is the 16 French version of the Avanos MIC Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube, Low Volume*.
As with the other "LV" models in the 8100 series, this is a single-lumen silicone tube designed for direct feeding into the small intestine (jejunum). The "Low Volume" designation indicates it is specifically tailored for pediatric patients or small-stature adults who require a shorter tube and a smaller internal retention balloon.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: 8100-16LV
Size: 16 Fr (Outer Diameter)
Jejunal Length: 15 cm (Adult standard J-tubes are usually 60 cm)
Balloon Volume: 2–3 ml (Designed to take up minimal space in the stomach/small bowel)
Connector: ENFit® Connector (Purple-coded for enteral safety)
Material: Medical-grade, high-clarity silicone
Sterility: Sterile (Single-use)
Key Features
Pediatric Sizing: The 15 cm length is optimized for children. Using a full-length adult tube in a pediatric patient often leads to excessive coiling or the tip traveling too far into the distal intestine, which can cause absorption issues or discomfort.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted to help the tube stay properly positioned in the jejunum through natural peristalsis and gravity.
Trimmable Distal Tip: This feature allows clinicians to further customize the length of the 15 cm tube during the placement procedure to ensure an exact fit for the patient's anatomy.
Radiopaque Stripe: A high-visibility stripe runs the length of the tube, allowing for easy placement verification using X-ray or fluoroscopy.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster:* This external retention ring secures the tube at the skin level, preventing it from migrating inward while allowing air to reach the stoma site for healing.
