Description
The 8270-18-3.0-45 is the maximum-reach configuration in the 18 French Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube* series. It is designed for patients with a deep stoma tract who also require the longest available feeding tail for stability.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8270-18-3.0-45
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — Offers a larger internal lumen for improved flow and reduced clogging compared to smaller diameters.
Stoma Length: 3.0 cm — Specifically sized for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 30 mm.
Jejunal Length: 45 cm — The maximum standard length; provides deep access into the jejunum to ensure the tip stays seated past the Ligament of Treitz.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable silicone internal anchor used to secure the device.
Key Features
Optimal Deep Stoma Fit: The 3.0 cm shaft prevents the external bolster from being too tight, which is critical for avoiding pressure necrosis and skin breakdown in patients with thicker abdominal walls.
Maximum Jejunal Reach: The 45 cm tail is the clinical choice for patients who experience frequent tube migration (the tip "flipping" back into the stomach).
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the abdomen, making it discreet under clothing and less likely to be accidentally dislodged than traditional "long" tubes.
Dual-Port Access:
Gastric Port (White): For simultaneous gastric decompression, venting, or medication delivery.
Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated specifically for continuous enteral nutrition.
Weighted Distal Tip: Features a tungsten-weighted end to help gravity maintain the tube’s position in the small intestine.
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines.
