Description

The Avanos 0270-18-2.5-30 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This low-profile (button-style) device is designed for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding and require nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine (jejunum), while still needing a port to drain or vent the stomach (gastric decompression).

The model number specifies the dimensions: 18 French diameter, a 2.5 cm stoma length, and a 30 cm jejunal tube length.

Key Features

  • Dual-Port System: Features separate, clearly marked "GASTRIC" and "JEJUNAL" ports. The gastric port is used for decompression/venting via gravity or intermittent suction, while the jejunal port is for continuous feeding and medication.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, reducing the risk of accidental removal and offering more discretion and comfort for active patients compared to standard length tubes.

  • Atraumatic Tapered Tip: The distal tip is tapered to match the tube size, facilitating a smoother insertion process and reducing irritation to the intestinal mucosa.

  • Radiopaque Weighted Jejunal Segment: The jejunal portion is tungsten-weighted to help maintain its position in the small intestine and includes a radiopaque stripe for clear visualization during X-ray confirmation.

  • High-Clarity Silicone: Manufactured from medical-grade silicone, which allows for easier visualization of the tube's contents and helps monitor for potential clogs.

  • SECUR-LOK* Mechanism: Utilizes a "key" style locking connection for extension sets to ensure they remain securely attached during feeding cycles.
