Product Specifications
Model Number: 8270-18-2.7-45
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — Provides a wider lumen for increased flow rates and reduced risk of clogging.
Stoma Length: 2.7 cm — Designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 27 mm.
Jejunal Length: 45 cm — The maximum standard length, providing deep access into the small intestine for stability.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable silicone internal anchor to secure the tube within the stomach.
Key Features
Maximum Jejunal Stability: The 45 cm tail is utilized for patients prone to "retrograde migration," where the tube tip flips back into the stomach.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the abdomen, offering a discreet and comfortable fit that reduces the risk of accidental dislodgment.
Dual-Port System:
Gastric Port (White): For venting, decompression, or medication delivery.
Jejunal Port (Green): For continuous enteral feeding directly into the small bowel.
Weighted Distal Tip: Features a tungsten-weighted end to help gravity maintain the tube’s position past the Ligament of Treitz.
ENFit Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 safety standards to prevent accidental connection to non-enteral lines.
Radiopaque Stripe: Built into the silicone for clear visualization and placement confirmation under X-ray.
