Description
he 8270-22-3.0-45 is the maximum-reach and deep-stoma configuration of the Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube* within the 22 French series.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8270-22-3.0-45
Outer Diameter: 22 French (Fr) — The widest standard diameter available, providing the highest flow rate and maximum resistance to clogging.
Stoma Length: 3.0 cm — Designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 30 mm, ensuring the button fits comfortably without excessive skin pressure.
Jejunal Length: 45 cm — The longest available tail length; used to reach deep into the small intestine to ensure stable placement.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable internal retention balloon made of medical-grade silicone.
Key Features
Deep Stoma Comfort: The 3.0 cm shaft length is critical for patients with more subcutaneous tissue to prevent the external bolster from causing pressure-related skin irritation or "buried bumper syndrome."
Maximum Migration Resistance: The 45 cm tail is the primary clinical solution for patients who experience "retrograde migration" (the tube flipping back into the stomach) with shorter lengths.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the abdomen. This "button" style is discreet, comfortable, and less likely to be snagged or pulled than traditional long G-J tubes.
Dual-Port System:
Gastric Port (White): For simultaneous gastric decompression, venting, or medication delivery.
Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated specifically for continuous enteral nutrition into the small bowel.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Features a weighted distal end to help gravity maintain the tube’s position past the Ligament of Treitz.
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines.
