Description
The Avanos 0270-16-1.5-45 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 45 cm jejunal length. The 45 cm jejunal segment is one of the longest standard lengths available for the 16 Fr series, making it ideal for adult patients or taller children to ensure the tip reaches deep into the jejunum for stable placement and optimal nutrient absorption.
Key Features
Dual-Port Access: The low-profile "button" head has two distinct ports. The Gastric port (labeled "GASTRIC") is used to vent air or drain fluid from the stomach to relieve pressure, while the Jejunal port (labeled "JEJUNAL") allows for feeding directly into the small intestine.
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 snagged on clothing or accidentally dislodged.
1.5 cm Stoma Length: Designed for patients with an average abdominal wall thickness, ensuring a secure fit that minimizes movement and potential tissue irritation.
45 cm Jejunal Segment: This extra-long segment ensures the tube passes through the stomach and pylorus to terminate securely in the jejunum, reducing the risk of the tip migrating back into the stomach.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end of the jejunal tube is weighted and radiopaque, helping to maintain its position and allowing for clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from biocompatible, high-clarity silicone for maximum flexibility and durability.
