Description
Overview
A low-profile, skin-level, double-lumen gastro-jejunal enteral device placed through a gastric stoma with the distal limb positioned in the jejunum. It supports simultaneous jejunal feeding and gastric decompression/venting. Suitable for pediatric and adult patients, it may be placed endoscopically or radiologically and can serve as an initial tube when used with the Avanos introducer kit or as a replacement in a mature stoma.
Intended use
Provides post-pyloric (jejunal) feeding while allowing gastric decompression/venting via a separate gastric lumen. Designed for comfort and discretion at the skin level.
Ports and connectivity
- Three external ports on the button: JEJUNAL (feeding), GASTRIC (decompression/venting), BAL (balloon inflation/deflation).
- One-way valves in JEJUNAL and GASTRIC ports open when a compatible MIC-KEY Extension Set is attached.
- No dedicated medication port on the button; medications may be delivered via the jejunal or gastric lumen per clinical direction.
- ENFit connectivity for feeding/drainage; ports interface to extension sets via the MIC-KEY SECUR-LOK connector.
Design and key features
- Low-profile “button” with external bolster and silicone internal inflatable retention balloon.
- Weighted jejunal segment (tungsten) to help maintain position; radiopaque stripe/segment for visualization under imaging.
- Multiple exit ports on the jejunal limb; gastric lumen supports decompression/venting (low intermittent suction or gravity).
- Tapered distal tip to aid insertion; clearly marked G (gastric) and J (jejunal) ports.
- Jejunal length is measured from the distal aspect of the retention balloon to the catheter tip.
Materials and biocompatibility
- Tube: medical-grade silicone; components may include polyetherimide and polycarbonate; radiopacity provided by tungsten/stripe.
- Not formulated with natural rubber latex or DEHP/DBP/BBP.
- Extension sets: PVC (citrate-softened) and ABS; clamp polypropylene.
Sterility and handling
- Sterilized by gamma radiation. Single-use; prescription device (Rx only). Do not reuse, reprocess, or re-sterilize.
