Description

The Avanos 0270-22-3.0-45 is a MIC-KEY* Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Feeding Tube Kit. This low-profile (button-style) enteral device is designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression and delivery of nutrition directly into the jejunum.

The model number specifies the dimensions: 22 French diameter, a 3.0 cm stoma length, and an extended 45 cm jejunal tube length.

Key Features

  • High-Flow 22 French Diameter: This is the largest standard diameter available for this device, offering a wider lumen that is less prone to clogging and allows for faster gastric venting and delivery of thicker formulas compared to 18 Fr models.

  • Dual-Port Functionality: The external base features two separate ports. The Gastric port is used to vent air or drain fluid from the stomach (decompression), while the Jejunal port is used to deliver continuous feeding and medication directly into the small intestine.

  • Extended Stoma Length (3.0 cm): Specifically designed for patients with a thicker abdominal wall or those experiencing post-operative swelling, ensuring the device sits comfortably without excessive pressure on the skin.

  • 45 cm Jejunal Segment: The extra-long jejunal tube ensures the tip terminates deep within the small intestine, which is critical for preventing the tube from migrating back into the stomach and for optimizing nutrient absorption.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin. This "button" style is more discreet than traditional long tubes and significantly reduces the risk of accidental snagging or dislodgement.

  • 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.

  • Gastric Outlet Obstruction: Providing a way to vent/drain the stomach to relieve pressure while maintaining a nutritional route distally.

  • Patients with Higher BMI: The 3.0 cm stoma length specifically accommodates patients with a deeper stoma tract.
