Description

The 8270-22-1.7-45 is a configuration of the Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube* within the 22 French series.

Model Number: 8270-22-1.7-45
Outer Diameter: 22 French (Fr) — The largest standard diameter, providing a wide lumen for high flow rates and high-viscosity formulas.
Stoma Length: 1.7 cm — Designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 17 mm.
Jejunal Length: 45 cm — The maximum standard jejunal length; used to reach deep into the small intestine to ensure stable placement and minimize migration.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable internal retention balloon for secure placement inside the stomach.

Enhanced Formula Flow: The 22 Fr size is often preferred for patients who require faster delivery or who use thicker nutritional products, as the larger diameter is significantly more resistant to clogging.
Maximum Migration Resistance: The 45 cm tail is the primary clinical choice for adult patients who experience the tube "flipping" back into the stomach (retrograde migration) with shorter lengths.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, offering a discreet, comfortable fit that is less prone to being pulled or snagged than traditional long tubes.
Dual-Port System:
- Gastric Port (White): For simultaneous gastric decompression, venting, or medication delivery.
- Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated for continuous enteral feeding directly into the small bowel.
Weighted Distal Tip: Features a tungsten-weighted end to help gravity keep the tube properly positioned past the Ligament of Treitz.
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 safety standards to prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral lines (such as IVs).
