Description
This configuration is designed for patients with a deeper stoma tract who require a larger 18 French diameter and an extended jejunal tail for stable placement.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8270-18-2.5-30
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — Provides a wider lumen to accommodate thicker formulas and decrease the risk of clogging.
Stoma Length: 2.5 cm — Designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 25 mm.
Jejunal Length: 30 cm — Measured from the gastric balloon to the distal tip; provides an extended reach into the small intestine past the Ligament of Treitz.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable internal retention balloon made of high-quality medical-grade silicone.
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: The external "button" sits flush against the skin, making the device discreet under clothing and more comfortable for active patients.
Dual-Port Access:
Gastric Port (White): For simultaneous gastric decompression, venting, or medication delivery.
Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated specifically for continuous enteral nutrition into the small bowel.
Weighted Distal Tip: Features a tungsten-weighted end to help gravity maintain the tube’s position in the jejunum and prevent migration back into the stomach.
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards to ensure the tube cannot be accidentally connected to IV lines or other non-enteral systems.
Radiopaque Stripe: Embedded within the silicone for easy verification of the tube’s position using X-ray or fluoroscopy.
