Description
The Avanos 0100-28 is a MIC* Gastrostomy (G) Feeding Tube. Unlike the low-profile "button" models, this is a traditional-length tube designed for patients who require long-term enteral nutrition, medication delivery, or gastric decompression directly into the stomach.
This model is a 28 French diameter tube, which is the largest standard size in the MIC* G-tube line. This wide diameter is ideal for the delivery of high-viscosity (thick) formulas and blended diets, significantly reducing the risk of clogging.
Key Features
Traditional Length Design: Features a full-length tube that extends from the stoma. This allows for easier access for caregivers and patients who may have difficulty reaching a low-profile button.
28 French Diameter: Provides the maximum flow rate available for standard gastrostomy tubes, making it excellent for thick nutritional support.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that remains flexible and durable for long-term placement.
Inflatable Retention Balloon: Includes an internal silicone balloon (typically inflated with 7–10 mL of sterile water) to anchor the tube securely within the stomach.
SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: A specialized bolster that slides down the tube to the skin level. It is designed to hold the tube in place and allow air to circulate around the stoma site to maintain skin health.
Universal Feeding Port: Features a dual-port head:
Feeding Port: For nutritional formula.
Medication Port: A separate port to deliver meds without interrupting a continuous feed.
Radiopaque Stripe: A longitudinal stripe and a recessed atraumatic tip are visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy to verify correct positioning.
