Description
The Avanos 0100-14LV is a MIC* Gastrostomy (G) Feeding Tube. It is a traditional-length (long) tube designed for patients who require long-term enteral nutrition, medication delivery, or gastric decompression.
The "LV" designation stands for Low Volume, indicating that the device features a smaller internal retention balloon. This makes it an ideal choice for pediatric patients or small adults where space in the stomach is limited.
Key Features
14 French Diameter: A small-bore tube commonly used in pediatric or adolescent care.
Low Volume (LV) Balloon: The internal silicone retention balloon has a recommended fill volume of 3–5 mL. This smaller balloon helps prevent gastric outlet obstruction, a common concern in smaller patients.
Recessed Distal Tip: The tip of the tube is designed to sit flush with the balloon when fully inflated. This minimizes the amount of plastic protruding into the stomach, reducing potential mucosal irritation.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that is soft and flexible, enhancing patient comfort and allowing for easy visual inspection of the tube contents.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: A ventilated sliding bolster that holds the tube securely at the skin level. The ventilated design allows air to circulate around the stoma to help maintain skin health.
Universal Dual-Port Head:
Feeding Port: Used for nutritional formula.
Medication Port: A separate access point for flushing or administering medicine without interrupting the main feeding line.
Radiopaque Stripe: A visible line runs the length of the tube to allow for easy confirmation of placement via X-ray.
