Description

The Avanos MIC ENFit Gastrojejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube is a balloon‑retained, transgastric–jejunal, double‑lumen enteral device that enables simultaneous gastric decompression/drainage and jejunal delivery of nutrition and medications. It is intended for patients who cannot tolerate or adequately absorb gastric feeding, including those with intestinal dysmotility, gastric outlet obstruction, severe reflux or aspiration risk, or following esophagectomy/gastrectomy. The device is suitable for initial endoscopic or fluoroscopic placement and for replacement in an established stoma tract.

Key Features

• Double‑lumen design with dedicated gastric drainage and jejunal feeding channels.
• Male ENFit connectors on both gastric and jejunal ports; no separate medication port.
• Internal silicone retention balloon; size‑dependent fill volume approximately 7–10 mL.
• SECUR‑LOK external retention ring for skin‑level stabilization.
• Tapered distal tip with multiple exit ports to support flow and reduce clog risk.
• Radiopaque construction: tungsten‑weighted jejunal segment and barium‑sulfate stripe on gastric segment.
• Medical‑grade silicone construction; not made with natural rubber latex.
• Not formulated with DEHP, DBP, or BBP.

Sizes and Measurement

• French sizes (ENFit): 16 Fr, 18 Fr, 22 Fr.
• Jejunal lengths: 15 cm, 22 cm, 30 cm, 45 cm.
• Measurement convention: jejunal length is measured from the distal aspect of the retention balloon to the catheter tip.
