Description
The Avanos 0270-16-1.0-15 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This specialized, single-unit device is designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression (venting) and enteral nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine (jejunum).
This specific model is a pediatric/small-adult size, featuring a 16 French diameter, a very short 1.0 cm stoma length, and a 15 cm jejunal length.
Key Features
Dual-Port Access: The external "button" bolster features two clearly labeled ports:
Jejunal Port: Used for feeding and medication delivery into the small intestine.
Gastric Port: Used to suction/vent gas or drain fluid from the stomach.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discreet under clothing and reducing the risk of the tube being accidentally snagged or pulled out.
16 French Diameter: A mid-range diameter suitable for older children or smaller adults, offering better flow than 12 Fr tubes while remaining less invasive than 18 or 20 Fr models.
1.0 cm Stoma Length: Designed for patients with a very thin abdominal wall.
15 cm Jejunal Segment: A shorter jejunal length specifically intended for smaller patients to ensure the tip terminates correctly in the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum without excessive coiling.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The jejunal portion features a weighted, radiopaque tip to help maintain the tube's position in the small bowel and allow for clear visualization under X-ray.
Anti-Reflux Valves: Both ports contain one-way valves to prevent the leakage of gastric or intestinal contents when extension sets are disconnected.
