Description
the Avanos 0270-16-2.7-45 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. It is a specialized enteral device designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression (venting/drainage) and jejunal feeding (delivery of nutrition directly into the small intestine).
The model number specifies its dimensions: 16 Fr diameter, a 2.7 cm stoma (bolster) length, and an extended 45 cm jejunal tube length.
Key Features
Dual-Port Access: The low-profile external bolster contains two primary ports:
JEJUNAL Port: For delivering nutrition into the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum.
GASTRIC Port: For draining the stomach or administering medications.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making the device discreet and reducing the risk of accidental dislodgment or snagging on clothing.
Extended Jejunal Length: The 45 cm internal tube is longer than standard models, making it ideal for taller patients or those with specific anatomical needs where the tube tip must be placed deeper into the small intestine.
Weighted & Radiopaque: The jejunal portion is weighted to help maintain position and features a radiopaque stripe, allowing clinicians to verify the tube’s location using X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Inflatable Retention Balloon: Uses a medical-grade silicone balloon to secure the tube within the stomach. For this 45 cm length model, the recommended fill volume is typically 7–10 mL.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity silicone for long-term biocompatibility and patient comfort.
