The MIC Gastrostomy Feeding Tube 16 Fr by Avanos Medical delivers reliable nutrition support for patients requiring long-term tube feeding at home. This sterile gastrostomy tube is designed for individuals who cannot tolerate oral feeding, need gastric decompression, or require direct delivery of nutrition and medication into the stomach. Made from 100% medical-grade silicone, the tube is biocompatible, flexible, and gentle on sensitive tissue, making it ideal for extended use. The 16 French size with a low-volume 3 to 5 cc balloon ensures a comfortable, secure fit that minimizes the risk of gastric wall irritation or erosion. The unique design features a tapered distal tip for easier insertion and a recessed balloon that extends beyond the tip at recommended fill volumes, reducing pressure on delicate stomach tissue. Practical features include a universal feeding port connector, a built-in medication port for administering treatments, and a Secur-Lok external retention ring to keep the tube safely in place. The tube also includes a radiopaque stripe for enhanced visibility during placement. Each box contains 2 sterile tubes, gamma sterilized and ready for use. Whether you're caring for a loved one recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or supporting long-term nutritional needs, the MIC Gastrostomy Feeding Tube from Avanos Medical combines trusted performance with thoughtful design for safe, effective home care.
