Description

The Avanos 0270-18-2.5-45 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This low-profile (button-style) device is specifically designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression and enteral nutrition delivered directly into the jejunum.

The model number specifies the dimensions: 18 French diameter, a 2.5 cm stoma length, and an extended 45 cm jejunal tube length.

Key Features

  • Simultaneous Gastric and Jejunal Access: Features two separate ports. The gastric port allows for the drainage or venting of the stomach, while the jejunal port delivers nutrition and medication to the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum.

  • Extended Jejunal Length (45 cm): The 45 cm length is designed for patients with specific anatomical requirements or those who need the feeding tube to terminate further into the small intestine to optimize absorption and prevent reflux.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more discreet and comfortable for the patient. It reduces the risk of the tube being accidentally snagged or dislodged compared to standard-length tubes.

  • Tungsten-Weighted Jejunal Tip: The jejunal segment is weighted with tungsten to facilitate easier placement and help the tube remain in the proper position within the small intestine.

  • Radiopaque Stripe: Includes a radiopaque stripe along the length of the tube to allow for clear visualization and confirmation of placement under X-ray or fluoroscopy.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for durability and patient comfort.

  • Chronic Intestinal Motility Issues: Used when the patient requires long-term jejunal feeding.
