Description
The Avanos 0270-22-1.7-45 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This low-profile, button-style device is designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression and enteral nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine.
The model number specifies a 22 French diameter, a 1.7 cm stoma length, and an extended 45 cm jejunal tube length.
Key Features
High-Flow 22 French Diameter: The 22 Fr size is larger than the standard 18 Fr, providing a wider lumen that is less prone to clogging and allows for more efficient gastric venting.
Dual-Access Port System: The external "button" base features two distinct ports. The Gastric port is used to vent air or drain fluid from the stomach, while the Jejunal port is for the delivery of nutrition and medication.
Extended Jejunal Reach: At 45 cm, this jejunal segment is designed to reach deep into the small intestine, which is critical for patients with severe reflux or those whose tubes frequently migrate back into the stomach.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more discreet and comfortable. It significantly reduces the risk of accidental "pull-outs" compared to traditional long-tube G-J devices.
Radiopaque Weighted Tip: The jejunal tube contains a radiopaque stripe and a tungsten-weighted tip to assist with placement and ensure the tube's position can be easily verified via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for long-term durability and skin comfort.

Severe Gastroparesis: When the stomach cannot empty its contents into the small intestine effectively.
Chronic 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 to relieve pressure while maintaining a nutritional route distally.
Anatomical Fit: The 1.7 cm stoma length is ideal for patients with a relatively thin abdominal wall.
