Description
The 8270-22-3.5-45 is a specialized, deep-stoma configuration of the Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube*.
This model is intended for patients with significant abdominal wall thickness who require the largest tube diameter and the maximum available jejunal reach for stable feeding.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8270-22-3.5-45
Outer Diameter: 22 French (Fr) — The widest standard lumen, offering maximum flow for viscous formulas and reduced risk of clogging.
Stoma Length: 3.5 cm — Specifically sized for patients with a 35 mm abdominal wall thickness to ensure a comfortable fit without skin compression.
Jejunal Length: 45 cm — The maximum standard tail length; provides deep access into the small intestine to minimize the risk of the tube flipping back into the stomach.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable internal retention balloon made of medical-grade silicone.
Key Features
Deep Stoma Accommodation: The 3.5 cm shaft length prevents pressure necrosis and skin breakdown in patients with deeper stoma tracts.
High-Flow Capacity: The 22 Fr size is the clinical choice for patients who use thicker formulas or require frequent medication administration, as it is highly resistant to occlusion.
Maximum Migration Resistance: The 45 cm tail and tungsten-weighted tip work together to keep the tube properly seated past the Ligament of Treitz.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin to maximize patient comfort and discretion while reducing the risk of accidental dislodgment.
Dual-Port System:
Gastric Port (White): For stomach venting, decompression, or medication.
Jejunal Port (Green): For continuous intestinal nutrition.
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines.
