Description
The 8100-20 is the product code for the Avanos MIC Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube* in a 20 French size.
This is a single-lumen silicone tube designed for clinicians who need a slightly larger diameter than the standard 18 Fr for direct feeding into the small intestine. The larger bore of the 20 Fr helps improve flow rates and reduces the risk of clogging when using thicker nutritional formulas or crushed medications.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: 8100-20
Size: 20 Fr (Outer Diameter: 6.7 mm)
Jejunal Length: 60 cm (Standard trimmable adult length)
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml (Inflatable silicone internal retention balloon)
Connector: ENFit® Connector (Purple-coded to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines)
Material: High-clarity, medical-grade silicone
Sterility: Sterile (Single-use)
Key Features
Increased Lumen Diameter: The 20 French size provides a wider internal channel than the 16 or 18 Fr models, making it ideal for patients requiring higher caloric density formulas that are naturally more viscous.
Trimmable Distal Tip: The 60 cm segment can be custom-trimmed by the physician during the placement procedure to ensure the tip is positioned correctly within the jejunum based on the patient's specific anatomy.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: To prevent the tube from "wandering" or migrating back into the stomach (retrograde migration), the distal tip is weighted with tungsten to leverage gravity and natural intestinal peristalsis.
Radiopaque Stripe: A high-visibility stripe is embedded along the entire length of the tube, allowing for quick and accurate position verification via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster:* This external ring holds the tube securely at the skin level to prevent it from sliding into the stoma, while its design allows air to circulate around the site to promote skin health.
