Description
The Avanos 0270-18-1.7-30 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. This configuration is designed for patients who need simultaneous gastric decompression and jejunal feeding and have a mid-range stoma depth.
The model number specifies its dimensions: 18 Fr diameter, a 1.7 cm stoma (bolster) length, and a 30 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.
Precise Stoma Fit: The 1.7 cm stoma length is intended for patients who find the 1.5 cm too tight and the 2.0 cm too loose, ensuring a secure fit that prevents skin irritation or "leaking" around the site.
Standard Jejunal Reach: The 30 cm internal tube is the standard length for most patients, providing enough length to pass through the pylorus and sit securely in the jejunum.
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, flexibility, and durability.
