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.

Technical Specifications

  • Model Number: 0270-16-3.0-45 (Non-ENFit version).

  • Outer Diameter: 16 Fr (French).

  • Stoma Length: 3.0 cm (ideal for patients with thicker abdominal walls).

  • Jejunal Length: 45 cm.

  • Balloon Volume: 7–10 mL.

  • Connection Type: Non-ENFit (standard Luer-lock/slip).

Kit Contents

This sterile kit typically includes:

  • 1 Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal Feeding Tube.

  • 1 Introducer Cannula (to facilitate placement over a guidewire).

  • 1 6 mL Luer Slip Syringe (for balloon inflation/deflation).

  • 1 35 mL Catheter Tip Syringe.

  • 1 MIC-KEY* Continuous Feed Extension Set (with SECUR-LOK* Right Angle Connector).

  • 1 MIC-KEY* Bolus Feed Extension Set (with SECUR-LOK* Straight Connector).

  • Gauze pads for stoma site care.

Primary Indications

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

  • Aspiration Risk: For patients who frequently inhale stomach contents into the lungs.

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