Description
the 8160-14 is an Avanos MIC Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) Kit**. This is a comprehensive, sterile kit designed for the initial endoscopic placement of a gastrostomy feeding tube using the "Pull" technique.
The model number indicates a 14 French tube diameter—the smallest diameter available in this series—and features standardized ENFit connectors*.
Key Features
Standard Kit Configuration: The 8160 series is the Standard (non-safety) version of the kit. It contains the same high-quality MIC* tube as the safety series but does not include the specialized safety-shielded needles or safety scalpels.
Pull Placement Method: This is the most widely practiced PEG technique. A looped wire is passed endoscopically, and the 14 Fr tube is "pulled" down through the esophagus and out through the abdominal wall until the internal bumper is seated.
Small 14 Fr Diameter: This thinner profile is often used for patients with smaller body frames or for clinical situations where a smaller stoma is required.
Biocompatible Silicone: The tube is made from medical-grade silicone, which is durable and flexible, designed to remain in the patient for several months.
Internal Retention Bumper: Features a collapsible internal silicone bumper that secures the tube in the stomach. This mechanical design is often preferred over balloon-style tubes for initial placement because it cannot "deflate" or fail.
ENFit Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, these connectors are designed to be incompatible with IV lines, significantly reducing the risk of accidental misconnections.
