Description

The Avanos 0270-16-2.5-30 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. It is a specialized enteral device designed for patients—both pediatric and adult—who require simultaneous jejunal feeding and gastric decompression.

The model number specifies its dimensions: 16 Fr diameter, a 2.5 cm stoma (bolster) length, and a 30 cm jejunal (internal tube) length.

Key Features

  • Dual-Port Access: The low-profile external bolster contains two primary ports:

    • JEJUNAL Port: For delivering nutrition directly into the small intestine.

    • GASTRIC Port: For draining the stomach (via gravity or low suction) or administering medications.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discreet under clothing and reducing the chance of accidental pulling or snagging.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Built for long-term biocompatibility and patient comfort.

  • Tapered Distal Tip: Designed to allow for a smoother transition through the pylorus during placement.

  • Radiopaque Stripe: The internal tube is weighted and contains a radiopaque stripe for easy verification of placement under X-ray or fluoroscopy.

  • Inflatable Retention Balloon: Uses a high-quality silicone balloon to secure the tube within the stomach.

Technical Specifications

  • Model Number: 0270-16-2.5-30 (Non-ENFit version).

  • Outer Diameter: 16 Fr.

  • Stoma Length: 2.5 cm.

  • Jejunal Length: 30 cm (approx. 11.8 inches).

  • Balloon Volume: 3–5 mL (recommended fill volume).

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

  • MRI Safety: MR Conditional (safe for 1.5T and 3T systems).

Kit Contents

This comprehensive kit typically include:

  • 1 Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal Feeding Tube.

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

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

  • 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).

  • 4 Gauze pads for stoma site care.

Primary Indications

  • Poor Gastric Absorption: For patients who cannot absorb enough nutrition through the stomach alone.

  • Intestinal Motility Issues: Such as gastroparesis, where the stomach does not empty effectively.

  • Severe GERD/Aspiration Risk: To bypass the stomach and reduce the risk of contents entering the lungs.

  • Gastric Outlet Obstruction: When a blockage prevents food from moving into the small intestine naturally.
