Description
The 60317 is the product code for the Avanos MIC Transgastric-Jejunal (TJ) Feeding Tube* in an 18 French diameter with a 45 cm jejunal length.
This is a dual-lumen "long tube" (standard profile) designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression (venting the stomach) and jejunal feeding (delivering nutrition to the small intestine). This specific model features an extra-long jejunal tail (45 cm), intended for taller adults or patients with specific anatomical requirements.

Key Features
Extra-Long Jejunal Segment (45 cm): The extended length is designed to ensure the feeding ports sit deep within the jejunum, past the Ligament of Treitz, which helps prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach (retrograde migration).
Dual-Port Hub:
Gastric Port: Used to suction out air, gas, and gastric juices to relieve pressure, nausea, and bloating.
Jejunal Port: Used for the continuous delivery of enteral formula and medication directly into the small bowel.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end of the 45 cm tail is weighted with tungsten to assist with placement and to help the tube "sink" into the proper position within the intestine.
SECUR-LOK Retention Ring:* An external bolster that holds the tube at the skin. Its ventilated design allows the stoma site to "breathe," reducing the risk of skin breakdown and infection.
Radiopaque Stripe: A high-visibility line is embedded in the silicone, allowing the entire length of the tube—from the gastric balloon to the jejunal tip—to be clearly seen on an X-ray.
Medical Indications
The 60317 is clinically indicated for adult patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding but require a device that can still manage gastric secretions.
Severe Gastroparesis: When the stomach is essentially paralyzed and cannot move food.
High Risk of Aspiration: Direct jejunal feeding is the safest route for patients who frequently inhale stomach contents into their lungs.
Tall Adults/Large Anatomy: The 45 cm length is often necessary for patients with a longer torso or specific surgical reconstructions (like a Roux-en-Y) where a standard 30 cm tail is too short.
Gastric Outlet Obstruction: To bypass a physical blockage at the end of the stomach.
