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.
