Description

The 8270-16-1.2-22 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube**. This is a highly specialized, "button-style" replacement tube designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric decompression and jejunal feeding while maintaining a discreet, skin-level profile.

The model number provides the exact dimensions for the fit:

  • 16: The outer diameter of the tube is 16 French.

  • 1.2: The gastric stoma length (the "bolus" or shaft height) is 1.2 cm.

  • 22: The jejunal (jejunal-distal) length is 22 cm.

Key Features

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it less bulky and more comfortable than standard "long" tubes. It is easily hidden under clothing.

  • Dual-Port Functionality: * Gastric Port: Used for decompressing the stomach (venting air or fluid) or administering gastric medications.

    • Jejunal Port: Used for continuous delivery of nutrition directly into the small intestine.

  • Weighted Tip: The jejunal end features a tungsten-weighted tip to help maintain its position in the jejunum and prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach.

  • High-Clarity Medical Silicone: Constructed from high-grade silicone for durability and to allow for easy inspection of the lumen.

  • ENFit Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 safety standards to prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems.

  • Inflatable Gastric Balloon: Uses a high-quality silicone balloon to secure the tube internally against the stomach wall.

Technical Specifications

  • Outer Diameter: 16 Fr

  • Stoma Length: 1.2 cm

  • Jejunal Length: 22 cm

  • Balloon Volume: 3–5 ml (typically)

  • Sterility: Sterile, single-use

  • Quantity: 1 unit per Case (CS)

Clinical Application

This tube is primarily used for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding but still require a way to vent the stomach. Common indications include:

  • Severe Gastroparesis: Where the stomach does not empty.

  • Chronic Aspiration Risk: To prevent stomach contents from entering the lungs.

  • Gastric Outlet Obstruction: Providing a bypass for nutrition.
