Description
The 8170-24 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 "Push" (Over-the-Guidewire) technique.
The model number specifies a 24 French tube diameter and features the modern ENFit connectors* to ensure tubing compatibility and prevent misconnections.
Key Features
Safety Optimized: As a "Safety" kit, it includes safety-engineered needles and scalpels to minimize the risk of accidental needlestick injuries for the clinical team during the procedure.
Push (OTW) Technique: Designed for clinicians who prefer the "Push" method, where the PEG tube is advanced over a guidewire into the stomach, as opposed to the "Pull" method.
Medical-Grade Silicone: The tube is constructed from high-quality silicone for longevity and patient comfort.
SECUR-LOK Retention Ring:* Features a ventilated external retention ring that allows air to circulate around the stoma site, helping to reduce moisture buildup and skin irritation.
Radiopaque Stripe: The tubing includes a radiopaque stripe to allow for clear visualization and position verification under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
ENFit Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, reducing the risk of accidental connections between enteral feeding systems and non-enteral systems (like IV lines).
