Description

the 8270-18-2.0-22 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube**.

This is a common "mid-range" size for the 18 French series, designed for patients with a slightly thicker abdominal wall and a standard anatomy that allows for a regular-length feeding tail.

Dimensional Breakdown

  • 18: The tube has an 18 French outer diameter, offering a larger internal lumen than the 16 Fr series to accommodate thicker nutritional formulas and reduce the risk of clogging.

  • 2.0: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 2.0 cm. This is a frequent "step-up" size for patients who find the 1.5 cm length too tight against their skin.

  • 22: The jejunal (distal) length is 22 cm, measured from the gastric balloon to the tip.

Key Features

  • Optimal Stoma Clearance: The 2.0 cm shaft length provides the necessary space for patients with more subcutaneous tissue, preventing the external button from causing pressure-related skin irritation or "buried bumper syndrome."

  • Standard Jejunal Length: The 22 cm tail is the most widely used length for adults, typically providing enough reach to pass the duodenum and sit securely in the small intestine.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the abdomen. It is discreet, comfortable, and significantly more popular than traditional "long" G-J tubes because it is less likely to be snagged or accidentally pulled.

  • Dual-Port System:

    • Gastric Port (White): Used for removing gas or fluid from the stomach (venting) and gastric medications.

    • Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated specifically for continuous enteral nutrition.

  • Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Helps gravity maintain the tube’s position deep in the jejunum and prevents it from moving back into the stomach (retrograde migration).

  • ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, featuring threaded locks to prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems.
