Description
The 8270-18-2.7-30 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube* designed for patients with a deep stoma tract and a requirement for a longer jejunal tail for stability.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8270-18-2.7-30
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — Offers a larger internal lumen to reduce the risk of clogging from thicker formulas.
Stoma Length: 2.7 cm — Designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 27 mm, ensuring the button does not sit too tightly against the skin.
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 retention balloon 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.
Dual-Port Functionality:
Gastric Port (White): For stomach decompression, venting, or medication.
Jejunal Port (Green): For continuous enteral nutrition delivery.
Weighted Distal Tip: Equipped with tungsten weights to help maintain position in the jejunum and prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach.
ENFit Connectors:* Standardized threaded ports (ISO 80369-3) to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines.
Radiopaque Stripe: Embedded in the silicone for easy verification of the tube’s position under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
