Description
The Avanos 0270-16-2.5-45 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. It is a single-unit device designed for patients—both pediatric and adult—who require simultaneous jejunal feeding (delivery of nutrition to the small intestine) and gastric decompression (venting or drainage of the stomach).
The model number specifies its dimensions: 16 Fr diameter, a 2.5 cm stoma length, and a 45 cm jejunal tube length.
Key Features
Dual-Port Access: The low-profile external bolster features two separate ports:
JEJUNAL Port: Used for delivering enteral nutrition directly into the small intestine.
GASTRIC Port: Used for venting, decompression, or medication administration in the stomach.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making the device discreet under clothing and reducing the risk of accidental snagging or dislodgment.
Longer Jejunal Tube: The 45 cm internal tube is designed for patients whose anatomy requires a deeper reach into the small intestine to ensure optimal nutrient absorption and minimize reflux.
Weighted & Radiopaque: The jejunal portion is weighted to help maintain its position and features a radiopaque stripe for easy verification under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Biocompatible Silicone: Constructed from medical-grade silicone to enhance patient comfort and ensure long-term durability.
Inflatable Retention Balloon: Uses a high-quality silicone balloon to secure the tube internally within the stomach.

Primary Indications
Chronic Gastroparesis: When the stomach does not empty effectively into the small intestine.
Severe Aspiration Risk: For patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding due to high reflux or the risk of inhaling stomach contents.
Gastric Outlet Obstruction: When a physical blockage prevents food from passing from the stomach into the intestine.
Simultaneous Needs: For patients requiring both feeding into the intestine and venting/drainage of the stomach.
