Description

This is the longest standard configuration available for the 18 French, 1.7 cm stoma size. It is designed for patients who need the maximum available jejunal reach to maintain stable placement deep within the small intestine while utilizing the larger 18 Fr diameter for better formula flow.

Dimensional Breakdown

  • 18: The tube has an 18 French outer diameter, providing a wider lumen to accommodate thicker formulas and reduce the risk of clogging.

  • 1.7: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 1.7 cm, intended for patients whose stoma tract is slightly deeper than the standard 1.5 cm.

  • 45: The jejunal (distal) length is 45 cm, measured from the top of the gastric balloon to the weighted tip.

Key Features

  • Maximum 45 cm Jejunal Reach: This extra-long tail is specialized for patients with unique surgical anatomy or those who experience persistent "retrograde migration" (where the tube flips back into the stomach) with shorter 22 cm or 30 cm versions.

  • Low-Profile Design: The external "button" sits flush against the skin. This design is highly preferred for patient comfort and discretion, as it is less likely to be snagged or pulled than traditional long G-J tubes.

  • Dual-Port Functionality:

    • Gastric Port (White): For gastric decompression, venting, or medication delivery.

    • Jejunal Port (Green): For continuous enteral nutrition directly into the jejunum.

  • Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted to help gravity keep the tube properly positioned past the Ligament of Treitz and resist displacement caused by stomach contractions.

  • ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, featuring threaded locks to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines.
