Description

The Avanos 0270-18-3.5-45 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This low-profile (button-style) device is specifically engineered 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 3.5 cm stoma length, and an extended 45 cm jejunal tube length. This 3.5 cm stoma length is one of the longest available, designed for patients with a significant abdominal wall thickness.

Key Features

  • Dual-Access Port System: The external base contains two separate ports. The Gastric port allows for venting or drainage of the stomach (decompression), while the Jejunal port provides a direct route for feeding and medication into the small intestine.

  • Extended Stoma Length (3.5 cm): Designed for patients with a thicker subcutaneous tissue layer or those experiencing post-surgical edema, ensuring the bolster sits comfortably without causing pressure necrosis.

  • 45 cm Jejunal Segment: The extra-long jejunal tube ensures the tip terminates deep within the small intestine, which is critical for preventing the tube from migrating back into the stomach and for optimizing nutrient absorption.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin. This "button" style is more discreet than traditional "dangly" tubes and significantly reduces the risk of accidental snagging or dislodgement.

  • Tungsten-Weighted Radiopaque Tip: The jejunal segment features a radiopaque stripe and a weighted tip to help maintain placement and allow for easy confirmation of the tube's position via X-ray or fluoroscopy.

Primary Indications

  • Severe Gastroparesis: Used when the stomach is unable to move food into the small intestine effectively.

  • Chronic Aspiration Risk: For patients who reflux gastric contents, necessitating a bypass of the stomach for nutritional delivery.

  • Gastric Outlet Obstruction: Allows for venting the stomach to relieve pressure while maintaining a nutritional route distally.

  • Patients with Higher BMI: The 3.5 cm stoma length specifically accommodates patients with a deeper stoma tract.
