Description
The Avanos 0100-22 is a MIC* Gastrostomy (G) Feeding Tube. It is a traditional-length (long) tube designed for adult patients who require long-term enteral nutrition, medication delivery, or gastric decompression.
At 22 French, this is a larger-bore tube. It is often selected for patients who require thicker nutritional formulas or for those who have experienced frequent clogging with smaller 18 or 20 French tubes.
Key Features
22 French Diameter: Provides a wide internal lumen that facilitates the delivery of high-viscosity formulas and allows for efficient gastric drainage/decompression.
7–10 mL Inflatable Balloon: A medical-grade silicone internal retention balloon used to anchor the tube securely against the stomach wall.
Recessed Distal Tip: When the balloon is inflated to the recommended volume, the distal tip is recessed. This "atraumatic" design helps prevent the plastic tip from rubbing against or irritating the stomach lining.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone. The transparency allows caregivers to easily inspect the tube for cleanliness and ensures the material remains flexible over the life of the device.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: A sliding bolster that holds the tube at the skin level. Its ventilated design allows air to circulate around the stoma to prevent moisture buildup and skin breakdown.
Dual-Port Head:
Feeding Port: For nutritional formula delivery.
Medication Port: A secondary port that allows for flushing or meds without disconnecting the main feeding line.
Radiopaque Stripe: A longitudinal line runs the length of the tube for clear position confirmation under X-ray.
