Description
The Avanos 0270-16-1.5-15 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 1.5 cm stoma length, and a 15 cm jejunal length. The 1.5 cm stoma length is a standard adult size, while the 15 cm jejunal segment is the shortest available for the 16 Fr series, typically used for pediatric patients or smaller adults to ensure the tip terminates correctly in the proximal jejunum.
Key Features
Dual-Port Functionality: The external "button" head contains two separate ports:
Gastric Port: Labeled "GASTRIC," it is used to vent air or drain fluid from the stomach to relieve pressure, nausea, and bloating.
Jejunal Port: Labeled "JEJUNAL," it allows for enteral nutrition and medication to be delivered directly into the small intestine, bypassing the stomach.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discreet under clothing and less likely to be accidentally dislodged or snagged compared to traditional long G-J tubes.
16 French Diameter: A mid-size lumen that provides a balance between reliable formula flow and a smaller footprint in the stoma tract.
15 cm Jejunal Segment: Designed to pass through the stomach and pylorus. This shorter length is specific to patients whose anatomy requires the tip to terminate in the distal duodenum or very early jejunum.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The end of the jejunal segment is weighted and radiopaque. This helps prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach and allows for placement confirmation via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for durability, flexibility, and patient comfort.
