Description
The Avanos MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube with ENFit kit provides skin-level access for simultaneous jejunal feeding and gastric decompression in pediatric and adult patients. This dual-lumen, low-profile “button” device is placed through a gastric stoma with the distal limb positioned in the jejunum to support post-pyloric feeding while allowing gastric venting via a separate lumen.
Intended use and indications
- Provides continuous or bolus jejunal feeding while enabling gastric decompression/venting as directed.
- Designed for discreet, comfortable, skin-level access for long-term enteral therapy.
Design and ports
- Low-profile external bolster with an internal inflatable balloon retainer.
- Three access points: JEJUNAL (feeding), GASTRIC (decompression/venting), BAL (balloon inflation/deflation).
- One-way valves in the JEJUNAL and GASTRIC ports open only when a MIC-KEY Extension Set is attached.
- No dedicated medication port; medications may be delivered via the jejunal or gastric port per clinical direction.
Connectivity and kit configuration
- ENFit connector configuration.
- Uses MIC-KEY extension sets; kit includes ENFit extension sets for continuous and bolus feeding.
- Also available in catheter-tip connector variants within the product family (availability depends on configuration).
Key features
- Weighted jejunal segment to help maintain placement.
- Multiple jejunal exit ports for distribution.
- Radiopaque stripe for visualization on imaging.
- Tapered distal tip to aid placement.
- Clearly marked gastric and jejunal ports.
Sizes and options
- Outer diameter: 14, 16, 18, 22 Fr.
- Jejunal lengths: approximately 15, 22, 30, 45 cm (size-dependent).
- Stoma length options: approximately 1.0–7.0 cm, varying by tube diameter.
Materials and sterility
- Medical-grade silicone; latex-free.
- Sterile (gamma sterilized).
- Single-use; prescription device (Rx only).
Functional notes
- The gastric port is intended for decompression/drainage via gravity or low intermittent suction as clinically directed.
