Description
Key Features:
Size and Dimensions: This is a 6 French (Fr) tube that is 22 inches (approximately 56 cm) long.
Material: It is made of medical-grade polyurethane, a material known for its durability and larger lumen size compared to other materials.
Weighted Tip: The tube has a 1-gram pediatric weighted tip filled with tungsten to help with insertion and to maintain its position in the stomach or intestines.
Stylet: It includes a stylet to make insertion easier by providing rigidity. The stylet is also designed to be "flow-through," allowing for flushing and aspiration during the insertion process.
Radiopaque: A radiopaque stripe on the tube makes it visible on X-rays for accurate placement confirmation.
Lubricated Tip: The tip and internal lumen are coated with a water-activated lubricant to improve patient comfort during insertion and to allow for easy removal of the stylet.
Anti-Clog Bolus: The tip is designed to resist clogging, a common problem with feeding tubes.
Connectors: This model may come with different types of connectors, such as ENFit, Universal, or Anti-IV connectors, depending on the specific product variation. The ENFit connector is a modern standard designed to prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral devices.
MRI Conditional: The device is "MR Conditional" once the stylet is removed, meaning it can be used safely in an MRI environment under specific conditions, such as a static magnetic field of 3-Tesla or less.
Single-Use: It is a single-use, disposable medical device.
Uses and Applications:
The Avanos 20-8226 is used for enteral feeding and medication administration in pediatric patients.
Intermittent or Continuous Feeding: It is used to provide nutrition and hydration to patients who cannot eat or drink by mouth but whose digestive system is still working.
Nasogastric or Nasointestinal Route: The tube is inserted through the nose and can be placed in either the stomach (nasogastric) or the small intestine (nasointestinal) for nutrient delivery.
Gastric Aspiration: It can also be used to remove gastric contents, for instance, to relieve pressure in the stomach or to check for residual volume.
Patient Population: It is designed specifically for pediatric patients who need long-term nutritional support through a feeding tube.
