Description

Avanos 0270-18-1.7-45

The Avanos 0270-18-1.7-45 is a MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit*. This configuration is designed for patients with a 1.7 cm stoma depth who require the maximum available internal tube length to ensure the feeding tip remains deep within the small intestine.

The model number specifies its dimensions: 18 Fr diameter, a 1.7 cm stoma (bolster) length, and a 45 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.

  • Customized Stoma Fit: The 1.7 cm stoma length provides a precise fit for patients whose abdominal wall thickness falls between the standard 1.5 cm and 2.0 cm sizes, preventing excessive movement or pressure necrosis.

  • Extended Jejunal Reach: The 45 cm internal tube is the longest standard length available. It is ideal for taller patients or those whose anatomy requires the tip to be placed further into the jejunum to prevent migration back into the stomach.

  • 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.

  • Gastric Outlet Obstruction: When the natural passage from the stomach to the intestine is blocked.
