Description
the 8180-24 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.
The model number specifies a 24 French tube diameter—the largest standard size in the MIC* PEG line—and features ENFit connectors* for standardized safety.
Key Features
Pull Placement Method: In this procedure, a looped placement wire is used to pull the PEG tube through the esophagus and out through the abdominal wall until the internal bumper is seated against the gastric wall.
Large 24 Fr Diameter: This larger lumen is ideal for patients requiring high-viscosity (thick) formulas or those who may need to administer crushed medications, as it significantly reduces the risk of tube clogging compared to smaller sizes.
Safety Optimized: As a "Safety" series kit, it includes safety-engineered sharps, such as a 17 G safety introducer needle and a safety scalpel, to protect the clinical team from accidental needlesticks.
Biocompatible Silicone: The tube is made from medical-grade silicone, which is durable and flexible for long-term placement.
Internal Retention Bumper: Features a collapsible internal silicone bumper that secures the tube in the stomach without the need for an inflatable balloon.
ENFit Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, these connectors prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines and other non-enteral systems.
