Description
The Avanos 0270-18-1.2-22 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. This specific configuration is designed for patients with a very thin abdominal wall who require simultaneous gastric decompression and jejunal feeding.
The model number specifies its dimensions: 18 Fr diameter, a 1.2 cm stoma (bolster) length, and a 22 cm jejunal tube length.
Key Features
Dual-Port Access: The low-profile external bolster includes two distinct ports:
JEJUNAL Port: Specifically for delivering nutrition into the small intestine.
GASTRIC Port: Used for venting, decompressing the stomach, or administering medications.
Shallow Stoma Design: The 1.2 cm stoma length is one of the shortest available, specifically designed for pediatric patients or very lean adults where the abdominal wall is thin.
Compact Jejunal Length: The 22 cm internal tube is the shortest jejunal length offered in the MIC-KEY* line, making it suitable for smaller anatomy to ensure the tip stays correctly positioned.
Low-Profile Bolster: Sits flush against the skin, making the device discreet under clothing and minimizing the risk of accidental removal.
Weighted & Radiopaque: The jejunal portion features a radiopaque stripe, allowing clinicians to verify the tube’s position via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity silicone for biocompatibility and durability.
