Description
The Avanos 0270-16-2.7-30 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. This specialized device allows for simultaneous delivery of nutrition to the small intestine (jejunal feeding) and drainage or venting of the stomach (gastric decompression).
The model number specifies its dimensions: 16 Fr diameter, a 2.7 cm stoma (bolster) length, and a 30 cm jejunal tube length.
Key Features
Dual-Port Access: The low-profile external bolster includes two distinct ports:
JEJUNAL Port: Specifically for enteral feeding into the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum.
GASTRIC Port: Used for venting, decompressing the stomach, or administering medications.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the patient's skin, making it unobtrusive under clothing and reducing the risk of accidental snagging or dislodgment.
Standard Jejunal Length: The 30 cm internal tube is the standard length for most pediatric and adult patients to ensure the tip is positioned correctly in the small intestine.
Weighted & Radiopaque: The jejunal portion is weighted and features a radiopaque stripe, allowing clinicians to confirm and monitor the tube’s position via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Retention Balloon: Features a high-quality silicone internal balloon to secure the tube within the stomach. For this model, the recommended fill volume is typically 3–5 mL.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity silicone for biocompatibility and durability.
