The AVANOS Gastrostomy Feeding Tube (G-Tube) is a sterile silicone feeding tube used when a patient needs direct stomach access for nutrition, hydration, medication delivery, or gastric decompression. The product range includes smaller 14 and 16 Fr pediatric tubes and larger 18, 20, 22, and 24 Fr adult tubes, giving clinicians options for different stoma sizes and prescribed feeding needs.
The smaller pediatric tubes help support patients who need a narrower tube diameter and a lower 3 to 5 mL balloon volume. The adult sizes provide a larger tube pathway for feeding routines that may require more formula movement, medication access, or stomach decompression. This size range helps align the tube with the patient’s anatomy, formula routine, and care setting.
Each tube uses an internal retention balloon to help keep the tube positioned at the stomach wall. Adult sizes also include an external retention ring, which helps limit tube movement at the stoma during feeding, dressing changes, transfers, or daily care. The silicone tube, tapered recessed distal tip, and catheter-tip connector support routine gastrostomy feeding in home, outpatient, or clinical settings.
A separate medication port gives caregivers a dedicated access point for medication delivery, while radiopaque striping helps clinicians confirm tube visibility during imaging review. The tube is sterile, gamma sterilized, and not made with natural rubber latex or DEHP.
