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.

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