Description
The Avanos MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastric-Jejunal (GJ) Feeding Tube (ENFit) is a skin-level, button-style device for pediatric and adult patients who require post-pyloric (jejunal) feeding while allowing simultaneous gastric decompression or venting through a separate lumen.
Design and Ports
- Low-profile, skin-level button with an external bolster and an internal inflatable retention balloon.
- Dual lumens with clearly marked access points on the external bolster: JEJUNAL (feeding) and GASTRIC (decompression/venting); separate BAL port for balloon inflation/deflation.
- One-way valves in the JEJUNAL and GASTRIC ports open upon attachment of a MIC-KEY extension set.
- No dedicated medication port; medications are administered via the jejunal or gastric lumen per clinical direction.
Connectivity and Kit Contents
- ENFit standard connectivity via MIC-KEY ENFit extension sets.
- SECUR-LOK mechanism helps secure the extension set to the button ports during use.
- Kits include ENFit extension sets (continuous and/or bolus styles, depending on kit configuration).
Key Features
- Weighted jejunal portion with high columnar strength to help maintain position in the jejunum and reduce the need for repositioning.
- Multiple jejunal exit ports designed to enhance flow and help minimize clogging.
- Clearly marked separate gastric and jejunal ports to support gastric decompression while feeding jejunally.
- Radiopaque features (radiopaque weighted jejunal portion and radiopaque stripe) for imaging visualization.
- Tapered distal tip to aid placement.
- High-clarity, medical-grade silicone construction for visibility and drapability; latex-free.
Sizes and Options
- Available diameters: 14, 16, 18, and 22 Fr.
- Jejunal lengths: 15, 22, 30, and 45 cm (availability varies by diameter).
- Stoma (shaft) lengths: approximately 1.0–7.0 cm depending on configuration.
- Jejunal length is measured from the distal aspect of the balloon to the catheter tip.
