Description
the 8160-20 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 specifies a 20 French tube diameter—the most common size used for adult patients—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 utilizes standard (non-shielded) needles and scalpels.
Pull Placement Method: In this procedure, a looped placement wire is passed endoscopically and used to "pull" the PEG tube down through the esophagus and out through the abdominal incision until the internal bumper is seated against the stomach wall.
Optimal 20 Fr Diameter: This size is considered the "gold standard" for most adults. It is large enough to prevent frequent clogging from medications and standard formulas while remaining comfortable for the patient.
Medical-Grade Silicone: The tube is constructed from high-quality silicone, which is durable, flexible, and designed for long-term placement (typically replaced every 6 to 12 months).
Internal Retention Bumper: Features a collapsible internal silicone bumper that secures the tube in the stomach. Unlike balloon-style tubes, this bumper is mechanical and cannot deflate, providing a very secure initial placement.
ENFit Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, these connectors ensure the tube can only be connected to enteral feeding sets, preventing accidental and dangerous misconnections with IV lines.
