Description
The 8270-18-2.3-30 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube* designed for patients with a thicker stoma tract who require a longer feeding tail.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8270-18-2.3-30
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — A wider diameter that facilitates better formula flow and reduces the risk of tube occlusion.
Stoma Length: 2.3 cm — Specifically sized for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 23 mm to ensure a comfortable fit without skin compression.
Jejunal Length: 30 cm — Measured from the gastric balloon to the distal tip; provides extended reach into the small intestine.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable internal anchor made of medical-grade silicone.
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin to minimize the risk of accidental removal and improve patient comfort and discretion.
Dual-Port Functionality:
Gastric Port (White): Used for stomach decompression, venting gas, or administering medications.
Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated to the continuous delivery of nutrition into the jejunum.
Weighted Distal Tip: Equipped with tungsten weights to help maintain placement in the small bowel and prevent "retrograde migration" (moving back into the stomach).
ENFit Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 safety standards to prevent misconnections with IV or other medical lines.
Radiopaque Stripe: Included within the silicone tube to allow for easy confirmation of placement via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
