Description
The Avanos 0270-22-2.5-45 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This is a low-profile enteral feeding device designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression (venting) and delivery of nutrition directly into the jejunum (small intestine).
The model number specifies the dimensions: 22 French diameter, a 2.5 cm stoma length, and an extended 45 cm jejunal tube length.
Key Features
Higher Flow Diameter (22 Fr): The 22 French size provides a wider internal lumen compared to standard 18 Fr tubes, which is beneficial for delivering thicker formulas and more efficient gastric drainage.
Dual-Access Port System: The external "button" base features two distinct ports. The Gastric port is for venting air or draining fluid from the stomach, while the Jejunal port is for continuous feeding and medication.
Extended Jejunal Reach (45 cm): The 45 cm length is designed for patients who need the tube to terminate further into the small intestine to optimize absorption and prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discreet and reducing the risk of accidental dislodgement compared to traditional "long" G-J tubes.
Tungsten-Weighted Radiopaque Tip: The jejunal segment is weighted with tungsten to help maintain its position in the small intestine and features a radiopaque stripe for easy visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for patient comfort and durability.

Post-Operative Support: Frequently used following major upper GI surgeries such as an esophagectomy or gastric bypass.
