Description
The Avanos 0100-24 is a MIC* Gastrostomy (G) Feeding Tube. It is a traditional-length (long) tube designed for adult and adolescent patients who require long-term enteral nutrition, medication delivery, or gastric decompression.
This model is a 24 French diameter tube, providing a larger bore that is excellent for high-volume feeding and for minimizing the risk of clogs when using thicker formulas or medications.
Key Features
24 French Diameter: A larger-sized tube that offers superior flow rates compared to smaller models (like 14 or 16 Fr). It is a standard choice for adult patients.
7–10 mL Inflatable Balloon: Equipped with an internal medical-grade silicone 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 that is soft and flexible. The transparent material allows for easy visual inspection of the tube's interior to check for residue or clogs.
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.
Universal Dual-Port Head:
Feeding Port: For nutritional formula.
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 to allow for clear visualization and position confirmation under X-ray.
