AMT G-JET Low Profile Gastric-Jejunal Feeding Tube is used when you cannot ingest food through your mouth, or are unable to get the proper amount of nutrients to meet your needs. The G-JET Button delivers a liquid food (called formula) directly into the small intestine by bypassing your mouth, esophagus, and stomach. Once the formula enters your body through the G-JET Button, digestion works the same as when food begins in your mouth. You get the same nutrients delivered to your body through a G-JET Button as you would get by mouth. Tube feeding with the G-JET Button provides you with a complete and healthy diet so growth and development can continue. It will take time to adjust to tube feeding at home, but with the help of your healthcare provider, some practice, and this patient education guide, you will gain confidence to take care of your G-JET Button.
