Description

The Avanos 0270-16-2.3-45 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. It is a specialized enteral access device designed for patients who need simultaneous jejunal feeding (delivery of nutrition to the small intestine) and gastric decompression (drainage of the stomach).

The model number specifies its dimensions: 16 Fr diameter, a 2.3 cm stoma (bolster) length, and a longer 45 cm jejunal tube length.

Key Features

  • Dual-Port Access: The low-profile external bolster features two distinct ports:

    • JEJUNAL Port: For feeding directly into the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum.

    • GASTRIC Port: For venting, decompression, or medication administration in the stomach.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin to reduce the risk of snagging on clothing and accidental dislodgment, enhancing patient comfort and mobility.

  • Extended Jejunal Length: The 45 cm internal tube is longer than the standard 22 cm or 30 cm models, making it suitable for taller patients or those whose anatomy requires deeper placement into the small intestine.

  • Weighted & Radiopaque: The jejunal portion is weighted and features a radiopaque stripe to help maintain its position and allow for verification of placement under X-ray or fluoroscopy.

  • Inflatable Retention Balloon: Uses a high-quality silicone balloon to secure the tube within the stomach. For this 45 cm length model, the recommended fill volume is typically 7–10 mL.

Technical Specifications

  • Model Number: 0270-16-2.3-45 (Non-ENFit version).

  • Outer Diameter: 16 Fr (French).

  • Stoma Length: 2.3 cm.

  • Jejunal Length: 45 cm.

  • Balloon Volume: 7–10 mL.

  • Connection Type: Non-ENFit (standard Luer-lock/slip).

  • Material: Medical-grade silicone.

Kit Contents

This sterile kit includes:

  • 1 Low-Profile GJ-Feeding Tube.

  • 1 Introducer Cannula (to assist with tube placement).

  • 1 6 mL Luer Slip Syringe (for balloon inflation).

  • 1 35 mL Catheter Tip Syringe.

  • 1 MIC-KEY* Continuous Feed Extension Set (with SECUR-LOK* Right Angle Connector).

  • 1 MIC-KEY* Bolus Feed Extension Set (with SECUR-LOK* Straight Connector).

  • Gauze pads for site care.

Primary Indications

  • Severe Gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD): When feeding into the stomach is risky due to high reflux or aspiration potential.

  • Intestinal Motility Problems: For patients with gastroparesis where the stomach does not empty effectively.

  • Gastric Outlet Obstruction: When a blockage prevents food from passing from the stomach into the intestine.

  • Post-Esophagectomy: For recovery after esophagus removal surgery.
