Description
the Avanos 0270-16-3.0-45 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. This specialized enteral device is designed for patients who cannot tolerate feeding into the stomach and require direct delivery of nutrition into the small intestine, while still needing access to the stomach for drainage or decompression.
The model number corresponds to these specific dimensions: 16 Fr diameter, a 3.0 cm stoma (bolster) length, and an extended 45 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.
Extended Jejunal Length: The 45 cm internal tube is the longest standard size, designed for taller patients or those whose internal anatomy requires deeper placement in the intestinal tract to prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach.
Weighted & Radiopaque: The jejunal portion is weighted to help maintain position and features a radiopaque stripe, allowing clinicians to verify 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 45 cm length model, the recommended fill volume is typically 7–10 mL.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity silicone for biocompatibility, flexibility, and durability.

Primary Indications
Severe Gastroparesis: When the stomach does not empty effectively, requiring nutrients to be delivered further down the digestive tract.

Gastric Outlet Obstruction: When a physical blockage prevents food from passing from the stomach into the intestine naturally.
