Description
The Avanos 0270-16-2.0-22 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 or drainage) while simultaneously receiving nutrition directly into the small intestine (jejunum).
This configuration features a 16 French diameter, a 2.0 cm stoma length, and a 22 cm jejunal length. The 2.0 cm stoma length is a standard adult size, providing a comfortable fit for patients with a typical abdominal wall thickness.
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 the device discreet under clothing and less likely to be accidentally dislodged or snagged compared to traditional "long" G-J tubes.
2.0 cm Stoma Length: Designed for patients with an average abdominal wall thickness, ensuring a secure fit that prevents the device from being too tight or too loose against the skin.
22 cm Jejunal Segment: A common "mid-range" length for the 16 Fr series, designed to pass through the stomach and pylorus to terminate securely in the jejunum.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end of the jejunal segment is weighted and radiopaque. This helps maintain the tube's position in the small intestine and allows for clear placement confirmation via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for maximum flexibility and patient comfort.
