Description
The 8270-22-2.7-45 is the maximum-reach version of the Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube* specifically designed for patients with a deep stoma tract.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8270-22-2.7-45
Outer Diameter: 22 French (Fr) — The largest standard diameter, offering the widest lumen for high-flow nutrition and maximum resistance to clogging.
Stoma Length: 2.7 cm — Designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 27 mm, ensuring the button fits comfortably without causing pressure necrosis.
Jejunal Length: 45 cm — The longest available tail length; provides maximum reach into the small intestine to ensure stable feeding placement.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable internal retention balloon made of medical-grade silicone.
Key Features
Maximum Jejunal Reach: The 45 cm tail is the clinical standard for patients who experience frequent retrograde migration (where the tube flips back into the stomach) with shorter lengths.
High-Capacity Lumen: The 22 Fr size is ideal for patients using thick or fiber-enriched formulas and those who require frequent medication administration through the tube.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin. This "button" style is preferred for its discretion and significantly lower risk of being snagged or pulled compared to traditional long tubes.
Dual-Port Functionality:
Gastric Port (White): For stomach decompression, venting gas, or administering medications.
Jejunal Port (Green): Specifically for continuous enteral nutrition delivery into the jejunum.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Helps gravity maintain the tube’s position deep in the small bowel past the Ligament of Treitz.
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards to prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral medical devices.
