Description
The Avanos 0270-16-1.7-15 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 or drainage) while simultaneously receiving nutrition directly into the small intestine (jejunum).
This configuration features a 16 French diameter, a 1.7 cm stoma length, and a 15 cm jejunal length.
Key Features
Dual-Port Access: The low-profile "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 more comfortable and discreet than traditional long G-J tubes and reducing the risk of accidental dislodgement.
1.7 cm Stoma Length: Designed for patients with an average-to-slightly-thick abdominal wall, ensuring a secure fit that prevents the bolster from being too tight or too loose.
15 cm Jejunal Segment: This is the shortest standard jejunal length for the 16 Fr series, typically used for pediatric patients or smaller adults to ensure the tip terminates correctly in the proximal jejunum.
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 high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for maximum flexibility and durability.
