Description
The Avanos 0137-24 is a MIC* PEG Universal Feeding Adapter. This is a replacement component specifically designed for the MIC* Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) Feeding Tube.
Unlike the "Bolus" adapters, this Universal model features a threaded Male Luer Lock connection, which allows for a secure, screw-on attachment to feeding sets or syringes that use luer connectors.
Key Features
24 French Size: Specifically engineered to fit the 24 Fr MIC* PEG Feeding Tube. It is precision-sized to provide a secure, leak-proof friction fit with the existing tube.
Universal Luer Lock Connector: Features a threaded male luer lock tip. This is designed for patients using feeding pumps or syringes with luer connections, ensuring the line does not accidentally disconnect during feeding.
Replacement Part: Provides a way to restore the function of a PEG tube if the original port becomes worn, stretched, or clogged, avoiding the need for a full surgical tube replacement.
Secondary Medication Port: Includes a side-entry "med" port with an attached cap. This allows caregivers to flush the tube or administer liquid medications without disconnecting the primary feeding line.
Clear Construction: The transparent material allows for easy visual inspection to ensure the adapter is clean and free of formula buildup or clogs.
Non-Sterile: Intended for clean use on an established, healed stoma site.
