Description
The Avanos 0100-26 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 directly into the stomach.
At 26 French, this is a large-bore tube. It is typically selected for adult patients who require high-volume feeding, the delivery of thick (high-viscosity) formulas, or for those who need efficient gastric drainage.
Key Features
26 French Diameter: Offers a wide internal lumen that significantly reduces the risk of clogging, even with blenderized diets or thicker medications.
7–10 mL Retention Balloon: Features an internal medical-grade silicone balloon that anchors the tube securely against the stomach wall.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone. This material remains flexible and allows caregivers to visually inspect the tube for residue or cleanliness.
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 irritating the sensitive stomach lining.
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 the delivery of nutritional formula.
Medication Port: A secondary access point for flushing or meds without interrupting a continuous feed.
Radiopaque Stripe: A longitudinal line runs the length of the tube for easy position verification under X-ray.
