Description
The 8210-16LV is the product code for the Avanos MIC Gastro-Enteric (G-E) Feeding Tube, Low Volume*.
While the standard 8210-16 is designed for general use, the "LV" (Low Volume) designation indicates a version specifically engineered for pediatric patients or smaller adults. It features a smaller internal retention balloon and a shorter jejunal length to accommodate smaller anatomy.

Key Features
Optimized for Pediatric Anatomy: The shorter 25.4 cm jejunal segment is specifically designed to fit the smaller intestinal tract of children, reducing the risk of the tube kinking or causing discomfort.
Low-Volume Balloon: The 3–5 ml balloon requires less space within the stomach, which is critical for patients with smaller gastric capacities or those who experience discomfort with larger balloons.
Dual-Port Functionality: * Gastric Port: For decompression, venting air, or draining stomach secretions.
Jejunal Port: For delivering nutrition and medication directly into the small intestine.
Placement Aids: Includes a tungsten-weighted tip to help maintain position in the jejunum and a radiopaque stripe for verification under X-ray.
SECUR-LOK External Bolster:* A ring that holds the tube at the skin level while allowing the stoma site to remain dry and aerated.
