Description

The Avanos MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube Kit with ENFit is a skin-level, double-lumen gastro-jejunostomy device placed through a gastric stoma, with the distal jejunal limb positioned in the small intestine. It supports simultaneous post-pyloric feeding and gastric decompression for pediatric and adult patients.

Intended Use

• Provides jejunal feeding while allowing gastric decompression/venting via a separate lumen.
• Low-profile, skin-level “button” design supports comfort, discretion, and mobility.

Design and Ports

• External low-profile button with external bolster and an internal inflatable silicone retention balloon.
• Three access points on the external bolster:
• JEJUNAL: for enteral feeding into the jejunum.
• GASTRIC: for decompression/venting (gravity or low intermittent suction per clinical direction).
• BAL: for balloon inflation/deflation.
• One-way valves in the JEJUNAL and GASTRIC ports open only when MIC-KEY extension sets are attached.
• No dedicated medication port; medications may be administered via the jejunal or gastric port per clinical direction.

Connectivity and Extension Sets

• ENFit connectivity (enteral-only standard).
• Compatible with MIC-KEY ENFit extension sets, including right-angle/continuous and bolus styles; closure caps and clamps included.
• SECUR-LOK low-profile connector interface between the button and extension sets.

Key Features

• Tungsten-weighted jejunal limb helps maintain placement; radiopaque stripe and weighted limb enhance imaging visibility.
• Multiple jejunal exit ports for distribution of feeds.
• Tapered distal tip to aid placement.
• Clearly marked gastric and jejunal ports for identification.

Materials

• Tube/body: medical-grade silicone; not made with natural rubber latex.
• Not formulated with DEHP, DBP, or BBP.
• Component materials may include polyether imide, polycarbonate, barium sulfate, and a stainless steel spring (connector assembly).
• Extension sets: citrate-plasticized PVC and ABS; clamp: polypropylene.
