Description
The Avanos 0270-22-2.0-45 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This low-profile (button-style) device is engineered for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression and enteral nutrition delivered directly into the jejunum.
The model number specifies the dimensions: 22 French diameter, a 2.0 cm stoma length, and an extended 45 cm jejunal tube length.
Key Features
High-Flow 22 French Diameter: The larger 22 Fr lumen allows for the delivery of thicker formulas and provides more efficient venting/drainage of gastric contents compared to smaller diameters.
Dual-Access Port System: The external 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 directly into the small intestine.
Extended Jejunal Reach (45 cm): The 45 cm length ensures the tube terminates deep within the jejunum, which is critical for patients with severe reflux or those whose tubes are prone to migrating back into the stomach.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, offering a discreet and comfortable fit that reduces the risk of accidental dislodgement or skin irritation.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that is durable and flexible, designed to optimize patient comfort and tube longevity.
Weighted Radiopaque Tip: Includes a tungsten-weighted distal tip to help maintain placement in the small intestine and a radiopaque stripe for easy visualization during X-ray or fluoroscopic confirmation.
