The G-JET® Family of GJ-Tubes
The More Comfortable Alternative for Enteral Feeding
A Gastric-Jejunal Tube, also known as a GJ-Tube, has two ports: the gastric port (g-port) goes to the stomach and is most commonly used for delivering medication, draining excess fluids, or venting air; the jejunal port (j-port) goes to a section of the small intestine called the jejunum and is used to deliver nutrition. The device is placed through the abdominal wall, into the stomach, and then into a part of the small intestine called the jejunum.
A GJ-Tube, like the G-JET®, is recommended for people who cannot eat by mouth and have a stomach that does not work properly. These patients need to administer nutrition directly into the small intestine – the GJ-Tube allows them to do that!
micro G-JET® Button
The low profile micro G-JET® Button was designed to meet the enteral nutrition needs of pediatric patients. The micro G-JET® transitions from a 14F gastric segment to an 8F jejunal segment. The 8F jejunal tubing is well-suited for the narrow lumen of the small intestine in pediatric patients and was designed to reduce digestive problems associated with sustained pyloric opening, such as reflux and potential aspiration of bile or chyme.
The micro G-JET® is available in 14F with stoma lengths ranging from 0.8 cm to 2.5 cm and with jejunal lengths ranging from 10 cm to 30 cm.
