Description
The Avanos 0270-18-6.5-45 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit. This 18 French, low-profile device is designed for patients who require enteral nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine (jejunum) while maintaining the ability to decompress or drain the stomach simultaneously.
This specific model is a Non-ENFit (Legacy) version, utilizing the traditional catheter-tip and luer-slip connection ports. The 6.5 cm stoma length is specifically for patients with a thicker abdominal wall to ensure a proper, flush fit against the skin without causing pressure necrosis or excessive movement.
Key Features
Dual-Port Functionality: The external bolster features two separate access points:
Jejunal Port: For delivering continuous or intermittent feeding into the jejunum.
Gastric Port: For gastric decompression (venting), medication delivery, or drainage.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the patient's skin, which improves comfort, reduces the risk of accidental dislodgement, and is easily concealed under clothing.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal jejunal end is weighted and features a radiopaque stripe to assist with proper placement and verification under fluoroscopy (X-ray).
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity silicone construction is biocompatible and durable, allowing for easy visual inspection of the tube's contents.
Inflatable Retention Balloon: A high-quality internal silicone balloon (7–10 ml volume) secures the device within the stomach stoma.
