Description
The Avanos 0270-16-1.5-22 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 1.5 cm stoma length, and a 22 cm jejunal length. The 1.5 cm stoma length is one of the most common standard sizes for adults and larger pediatric patients with an average abdominal wall thickness.
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.
22 cm Jejunal Segment: This "mid-range" length is designed to pass through the stomach and pylorus to terminate securely in the 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.
