Description
The 8100-28 is the product code for the Avanos MIC Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube* in a 28 French size.
This is a single-lumen silicone device specifically engineered for direct feeding into the small intestine (jejunum). As the second-largest size in the series, the 28 French diameter offers a very large bore, which is essential for patients requiring high-volume feeding or the use of thick, blenderized, or high-fiber formulas.

Key Features
Superior Clog Resistance: The 9.3 mm outer diameter translates to a wide internal lumen, making this tube an excellent choice for patients who have experienced frequent clogs with smaller 16 or 18 Fr tubes.
Customizable Placement: The 60 cm distal segment is designed to be custom-trimmed by the clinician during the placement procedure. This ensures the tip is positioned at the precise depth required for the patient’s small bowel anatomy.
Stable Positioning: * Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Helps the tube stay in the jejunum by utilizing gravity and natural peristalsis.
Radiopaque Stripe: Embedded along the entire length of the tube to facilitate clear verification of the tip's location under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster:* This retention ring secures the tube at the skin level while allowing air to circulate around the stoma, which helps prevent skin irritation and moisture buildup.
