Description
The Avanos 0270-16-2.0-45 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. It is designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression (drainage) and jejunal feeding (delivery of nutrition directly into the small intestine).
The model number is a breakdown of its specific dimensions: 16 Fr (diameter), 2.0 cm (stoma/bolster length), and 45 cm (jejunal/tube length).
Key Features
Simultaneous Access: Features separate ports for gastric and jejunal access. The Gastric port is used to drain the stomach (via gravity or low suction), while the Jejunal port delivers nutrition into the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more discreet and less likely to be snagged or pulled than traditional long tubes.
High-Clarity Silicone: Constructed from medical-grade silicone for biocompatibility and ease of visualization.
Radiopaque Stripe: Includes a radiopaque marker along the length of the tube to assist clinicians in verifying proper placement under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Tapered Distal Tip: Designed for smoother insertion and transition through the pylorus and into the small intestine.
Inflatable Retention Balloon: Uses a silicone internal balloon to secure the tube within the stomach.
