G-JET® Gastric-Jejunal Button Resources
A gastric-jejunal feeding tube, such as the AMT G-JET® Button, allows a patient to be fed directly into the jejunum, the second part of the intestine. It is inserted through the abdominal wall and stomach for direct access to the jejunum. With the G-JET® Button, caregivers or the patient can provide nutritional formulas to patients who can not tolerate stomach feeding.
The AMT G-JET® Button is a low profile feeding tube that offers great advancements over other G-J products on the market. It also provides safety mechanisms to help prevent misconnections. These safety measures include identification information printed clearly on the mutually exclusive ports, port covers with safety plugs, a glow-in-the-dark feeding port, and anti-kink technology in the jejunal section of the device that is MR conditional – safe to use in the MRI environment.
