Description

The Avanos 0270-18-2.7-45 is a **MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit**. This low-profile enteral device is designed for patients who require gastric decompression (venting or drainage) while receiving nutrition directly into the small intestine (jejunum).

The model number specifies the dimensions: 18 French diameter, a 2.7 cm stoma length, and an extended 45 cm jejunal tube length.

Dual-Port Functionality: Features separate ports on a single external base. The "GASTRIC" port is used for decompressing the stomach via gravity or low suction, while the "JEJUNAL" port delivers enteral nutrition and medication distally.
Extended Jejunal Reach (45 cm): The 45 cm jejunal segment is longer than standard models, making it ideal for patients who require the tube to terminate further into the small intestine to optimize absorption and prevent retrograde flow into the stomach.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, offering a more discreet and comfortable fit for the patient compared to traditional long G-J tubes. This design also significantly reduces the risk of accidental dislodgement.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that is flexible and durable, designed to minimize skin irritation at the stoma site.
Tungsten-Weighted Radiopaque Tip: The jejunal portion features a radiopaque stripe and a weighted distal tip to assist in maintaining proper positioning and to allow for easy visualization during X-ray or fluoroscopic confirmation.
Multiple Exit Ports: The jejunal segment is designed with multiple exit ports to improve the flow of nutrition and minimize the risk of tube clogging.

Severe Gastroparesis: Where the stomach cannot empty into the small intestine effectively.
High Aspiration Risk: For patients who reflux gastric contents, requiring feeding to bypass the stomach entirely.
Gastric Outlet Obstruction: Providing a way to vent/drain the stomach while maintaining a nutritional route.
Post-Operative Support: Frequently used following major upper GI surgeries such as an esophagectomy.
