Description
Designed for patients who need simultaneous jejunal feeding and gastric decompression, this low-profile gastric-jejunal (GJ) feeding tube kit supports post-pyloric nutrition while allowing gastric venting. The skin-level “button” design incorporates an external bolster and an internal inflatable retention balloon. ENFit connectivity is standard across configurations, and the kit includes MIC-KEY ENFit extension sets suitable for continuous and bolus feeding.
Intended Use
- For pediatric and adult patients requiring jejunal (post-pyloric) feeding with concurrent gastric decompression/venting.
Device Overview
- Low-profile, skin-level button with external bolster.
- Internal inflatable balloon for retention within the stomach.
- Weighted jejunal portion to help maintain jejunal placement.
- Multiple jejunal exit ports and a tapered distal tip.
- Radiopaque stripe to aid imaging and placement confirmation.
Ports and Connectivity
- Three external ports: JEJUNAL (feeding), GASTRIC (decompression/venting), BAL (balloon inflation/deflation).
- One-way valves in the JEJUNAL and GASTRIC ports engage when MIC-KEY extension sets are attached.
- Clearly marked G and J ports to support correct connections.
- ENFit connectors across all configurations.
- No dedicated medication port; medications are delivered via the G or J port per clinical direction.
Key Features
- Skin-level, low-profile design.
- Weighted J segment for positional support in the jejunum.
- Multiple jejunal exit ports to facilitate feeding distribution.
- Radiopaque stripe for visualization.
- Tapered distal tip.
