Description
The Avanos 0270-16-1.2-22 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This specialized device is used for patients who require gastric decompression (venting the stomach) while simultaneously receiving nutrition directly into the small intestine (jejunum).
This configuration features a 16 French diameter, a 1.2 cm stoma length, and a 22 cm jejunal length. It is a very common size for pediatric patients or smaller adults.
Key Features
Dual-Port Access: The low-profile "button" head has two distinct ports. The Gastric port allows for the removal of air or fluid from the stomach to prevent vomiting or bloating, while the Jejunal port bypasses the stomach for feeding.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more comfortable and discreet than traditional long G-J tubes. It also reduces the risk of the tube being pulled out by a child or snagged on clothing.
1.2 cm Stoma Length: Designed for patients with a thin-to-average abdominal wall, ensuring a snug fit that prevents "play" or leakage from the stoma site.
22 cm Jejunal Segment: This is the "mid-range" length for the 16 Fr series. It is long enough to pass through the stomach and the pylorus to sit securely in the jejunum.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end of the jejunal tube is weighted with tungsten to help maintain its position in the small intestine and prevent it from "flipping" back into the stomach.
Radiopaque Stripe: Includes a visible stripe and tip for easy confirmation of placement under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
