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.
