Description

The Avanos 0270-18-2.3-45 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This low-profile device is engineered for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression (venting or drainage) and enteral nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine (jejunum).

The model number specifies the dimensions: 18 French diameter, a 2.3 cm stoma length, and an extended 45 cm jejunal tube length.

Key Features

  • Dual-Port Functionality: Separate ports for gastric and jejunal access allow for the simultaneous drainage of the stomach and feeding into the jejunum, which is essential for managing patients with high aspiration risk or gastric dysmotility.

  • Extended Jejunal Length (45 cm): At 45 cm, this version provides a longer jejunal segment compared to the standard 30 cm model, ensuring the tube reaches further into the small intestine for optimal nutrient absorption.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin (bolster style), making it more comfortable and discreet for patients compared to traditional "dangly" G-J tubes.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that is durable yet flexible, designed to minimize skin irritation at the stoma site.

  • Radiopaque Weighted Tip: The jejunal portion is weighted and features a radiopaque stripe to ensure it remains properly positioned in the small intestine and is easily visible during radiographic confirmation.

  • SECUR-LOK* Connection: Features a specialized locking mechanism for extension sets, preventing accidental disconnects during active feeding or decompression.
