Description

The 8180-20 is an Avanos MIC Safety Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) Kit**. This kit is designed for the initial endoscopic placement of a gastrostomy feeding tube using the "Pull" technique, which is one of the most common methods for establishing long-term enteral access.

The model number indicates a 20 French tube diameter and features standardized ENFit connectors* for safety.

Key Features

  • Pull Placement Method: This kit uses the "Pull" technique, where a looped placement wire is used to pull the PEG tube through the esophagus and out through the abdominal wall.

  • Safety Components: As a "Safety" kit, it includes safety-engineered sharps, such as a 17 G safety introducer needle and a safety scalpel, to protect healthcare workers from accidental needlesticks during the procedure.

  • Biocompatible Silicone: The 20 Fr tube is constructed from high-quality medical-grade silicone, which remains flexible and durable for long-term patient use.

  • Internal Retention Bumper: Features a collapsible internal silicone bumper that holds the tube securely in the stomach. Unlike balloon-style tubes, this bumper does not require inflation and is designed for long-term stability.

  • ENFit Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, the connectors are designed to ensure compatibility with enteral feeding sets and prevent dangerous misconnections with other medical lines (like IVs).

  • Radiopaque Stripe: The tubing and internal bumper are radiopaque, allowing for easy verification of the tube's position using an X-ray if needed.
