Description
A low-profile, skin-level, balloon-retained, double-lumen gastric-jejunal feeding tube kit designed for pediatric and adult patients who require simultaneous post-pyloric (jejunal) feeding and gastric decompression/venting. Suitable for endoscopic or radiologic placement, and for use as an initial tube or as a replacement in an existing stoma tract.
Intended use
- Supports jejunal feeding while enabling gastric drainage/venting via separate lumens.
Design and placement
- Inserted through a gastric stoma with the distal limb positioned in the jejunum.
- Internal inflatable silicone retention balloon and an external low-profile bolster at skin level for secure, discrete placement.
Ports and functions
- JEJUNAL (J) port: One-way valve for feeding; opens when a MIC-KEY ENFit extension set is attached.
- GASTRIC (G) port: One-way valve for decompression/venting; suitable for gravity drainage or low intermittent suction; opens with MIC-KEY ENFit extension set.
- BAL port: For inflation/deflation of the retention balloon.
- No dedicated medication port; medications are administered via the J or G lumen per clinical direction.
Connectors and compatibility
- ENFit enteral-only connectors to help maintain enteral system integrity.
- Use MIC-KEY ENFit extension sets with SECUR-LOK style connectors; options for continuous/pump and bolus use.
Key features
- Low-profile “button” head for comfort and discretion.
- Tungsten-weighted jejunal limb to help maintain position and enhance radiopacity.
- Multiple jejunal exit ports for distribution of feeds.
- Radiopaque stripe for imaging visibility.
- Tapered distal tip to aid placement.
- Clearly marked JEJUNAL (J) and GASTRIC (G) ports.
Materials and biocompatibility
- Medical-grade silicone tube with internal silicone balloon.
- Not made with natural rubber latex; not formulated with DEHP, DBP, or BBP.
Sizes and options
- French sizes: 14, 16, 18, 22 Fr.
