Product Specifications
Model Number: 8270-18-2.0-45
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — Offers a wide lumen to accommodate thicker formulas and decrease the risk of clogging.
Stoma Length: 2.0 cm — Designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness requiring a 20 mm shaft.
Jejunal Length: 45 cm — The maximum standard length; used for patients who require the feeding tip to be placed very deep in the small bowel to prevent the tube from moving back into the stomach.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable silicone balloon serves as the internal retention bumper.
Key Features
Low-Profile "Button": Sits flat against the abdomen, increasing patient comfort and making the device easy to conceal under clothes.
Dual Access Ports:
Gastric (White): Allows for simultaneous venting or decompression of the stomach.
Jejunal (Green): Specifically for continuous intestinal feeding.
Weighted Distal Tip: Uses tungsten weights at the 45 cm end to help keep the tube properly seated past the Ligament of Treitz.
ENFit Connectors:* Threaded, safety-compliant ports that prevent accidental connection to IV lines or other non-enteral systems.
Radiopaque Stripe: The medical-grade silicone includes a stripe to allow clinicians to verify the tube’s position under X-ray/fluoroscopy.
