Description
The Avanos 0270-18-2.7-30 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This low-profile, button-style device is designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression and enteral nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine (jejunum).
The model number specifies the dimensions: 18 French diameter, a 2.7 cm stoma length, and a 30 cm jejunal tube length.
Key Features
Dual-Access Design: Features two separate ports on a single external base. The Gastric port is used for venting, decompression, or drainage of the stomach, while the Jejunal port is dedicated to feeding and medication delivery.
Low-Profile Comfort: Sits flush against the skin, making it more discreet and comfortable for the patient. This design reduces the risk of accidental "pull-outs" and skin irritation compared to standard-length tubes.
Silicone Construction: Made from medical-grade, high-clarity silicone for durability and biocompatibility.
Radiopaque Weighted Jejunal Segment: The jejunal portion includes a radiopaque stripe and is weighted with tungsten to assist in maintaining the tube's position in the small intestine and for easy visibility during X-ray confirmation.
SECUR-LOK* Connection: Uses a specialized locking mechanism for extension sets, ensuring they stay securely in place during active feeding.
Safety Features: Includes a tapered distal tip for smoother insertion and multiple exit ports to help prevent clogging.
