Description
The Avanos 0270-18-2.3-30 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. It is a low-profile enteral feeding device designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression (drainage) and delivery of nutrition directly into the jejunum.
The model number specifies the dimensions: 18 French diameter, a 2.3 cm stoma length, and a 30 cm jejunal tube length.
Key Features
Dual-Port Functionality: Provides separate ports for gastric and jejunal access. The gastric port allows for decompression or drainage of the stomach, while the jejunal port delivers enteral nutrition and medication to the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more discreet and less likely to be snagged or pulled compared to standard-length gastrostomy tubes.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone designed to reduce skin irritation and improve the longevity of the tube.
Radiopaque Jejunal Segment: The jejunal tube contains a radiopaque stripe and is weighted to assist with visibility and precise placement under fluoroscopic or radiographic examination.
Silicone Internal Retention Balloon: Utilizes an inflatable silicone balloon to secure the tube within the stomach, minimizing the risk of accidental dislodgement.
Tapered Distal Tip: Features a smooth, tapered tip to facilitate easier insertion and minimize trauma to the intestinal lining.
