Description
The Avanos 2120-12-1.5 is a MIC-KEY* G Low-Profile Gastrostomy Feeding Tube Kit. This is a "button" style feeding tube designed to sit flush against the skin. It is widely used because it is more discreet and less likely to be accidentally pulled out than traditional long tubes.
The 2120 prefix identifies this as a Safety Kit, which includes the tube itself plus the essential extension sets and accessories needed for a standard tube exchange or placement.
Key Features
12 French Diameter: A small-bore tube typically sized for pediatric patients, infants, or small-statured adults.
1.5 cm Stoma Length: This is the length of the tube's shaft that sits within the stoma tract (the distance from the surface of the skin to the inside of the stomach wall). Proper sizing is essential: a tube that is too short can cause skin breakdown, while one that is too long can cause leakage or internal irritation.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flat against the abdomen to minimize visibility under clothing and reduce the risk of snagging on fabrics or seatbelts.
3 mL Inflatable Balloon: A medical-grade silicone internal retention balloon used to anchor the tube inside the stomach. For a 12 Fr tube, the recommended fill volume is 3 mL.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal valve located at the top of the tube that prevents stomach contents from leaking out when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line visible under X-ray, allowing for easy confirmation of the tube’s position.
