Description

the Avanos 0270-16-3.5-45 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. This device is specifically engineered for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression and jejunal feeding, particularly those with a thicker abdominal wall or more significant subcutaneous tissue.

The model number specifies its dimensions: 16 Fr diameter, a longer 3.5 cm stoma (bolster) length, and a maximum 45 cm jejunal tube length.

Key Features

  • Dual-Port Access: The low-profile external bolster includes two distinct ports:

    • JEJUNAL Port: For delivering enteral nutrition into the small intestine.

    • GASTRIC Port: For venting, decompressing the stomach, or administering medications.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more discreet than traditional long tubes and reducing the risk of accidental dislodgment.

  • Deep Stoma Reach: The 3.5 cm stoma length is designed for patients where a standard 2.0 cm or 2.5 cm bolster is too short to safely clear the abdominal wall.

  • Extended Jejunal Length: The 45 cm internal tube is the longest standard length, ensuring the tip remains securely placed in the jejunum to prevent migration back into the stomach.

  • Weighted & Radiopaque: The jejunal portion features a radiopaque stripe, allowing clinicians to verify the tube’s position via X-ray or fluoroscopy.

  • Inflatable Retention Balloon: Uses a high-quality silicone balloon to secure the tube within the stomach. For this 45 cm length model, the recommended fill volume is typically 7–10 mL.

Technical Specifications

  • Model Number: 0270-16-3.5-45 (Non-ENFit version).

  • Outer Diameter: 16 Fr (French).

  • Stoma Length: 3.5 cm.

  • Jejunal Length: 45 cm.

  • Balloon Volume: 7–10 mL.

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

  • Material: High-clarity medical-grade silicone.

Kit Contents

This sterile kit typically includes:

  • 1 Low-Profile GJ-Feeding Tube.

  • 1 Introducer Cannula (to facilitate placement).

  • 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).

  • 4 Gauze pads for site maintenance.

Primary Indications

  • Severe Gastroparesis: For patients whose stomachs do not empty effectively.

  • Aspiration Risk: To bypass the stomach and deliver nutrition directly to the intestine, reducing the risk of inhaling stomach contents.

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