Description

The Avanos 0270-16-1.0-22 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This specialized device is designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric access (for decompression or venting) and jejunal access (for nutrition and medication).

This specific model is a pediatric or small-adult size, featuring a 16 French diameter, a shallow 1.0 cm stoma length, and a 22 cm jejunal length.

Key Features

  • Dual-Port Functionality: The external "button" head contains two separate ports:

    • Gastric Port: Used to vent air or drain fluid from the stomach to relieve pressure and nausea.

    • Jejunal Port: Used to deliver enteral nutrition and medication directly into the small intestine.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discreet, comfortable, and significantly less likely to be accidentally dislodged than a traditional long G-J tube.

  • 16 French Diameter: Provides a mid-size lumen that allows for reliable formula flow while maintaining a smaller footprint in the stoma tract.

  • 1.0 cm Stoma Length: Intended for patients with a very thin abdominal wall, common in pediatric or lean adult populations.

  • 22 cm Jejunal Segment: This length is designed to pass through the stomach and terminate in the jejunum. The 22 cm length is the mid-range option for the 16 Fr series (between the 15 cm and 30 cm versions).

  • Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The end of the jejunal tube is weighted and radiopaque to help prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach and to allow for easy confirmation of placement via X-ray or fluoroscopy.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from biocompatible, high-clarity silicone for durability and flexibility.
