Description
The 8100-24 is the product code for the Avanos MIC Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube* in a 24 French size.
This is a single-lumen silicone device designed for direct enteral feeding into the small intestine (jejunum). As one of the largest diameters in the 8100 series, the 24 Fr model provides the widest internal bore for adult patients, making it highly resistant to clogging and ideal for high-viscosity nutritional protocols.

Key Features
High-Flow Lumen: The 24 French diameter offers maximum internal clearance, allowing for the easy delivery of thick, blenderized, or high-fiber formulas, as well as complex medication regimens that might clog smaller 14 or 18 Fr tubes.
Trimmable Distal Tip: The 60 cm segment is designed to be custom-trimmed by the surgeon or clinician during the placement procedure. This allows for precise positioning of the tip within the jejunum based on the patient's internal anatomy.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: To ensure the tube stays in the small bowel and does not migrate back into the stomach (retrograde migration), the distal tip is weighted with tungsten to leverage natural peristalsis.
Superior Visibility: A radiopaque stripe is embedded along the entire length of the tube, enabling clinicians to verify the exact location of the tube and the tip using X-ray or fluoroscopy.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster:* This external ring holds the tube securely at the skin level. It features a design that allows air to circulate around the stoma site, which is critical for preventing moisture-related skin breakdown.
