Description

This marks the transition into the 18 French series. These tubes have a larger diameter than the 16 French models we previously discussed, which can help prevent clogging and allow for a higher flow rate of enteral formula.

Dimensional Breakdown

  • 18: The tube has an 18 French outer diameter.

  • 1.2: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 1.2 cm.

  • 22: The jejunal (distal) length is 22 cm, measured from the gastric balloon to the tip.

Key Features

  • Increased Diameter: The 18 French size is often preferred for adult patients or those using thicker formulas, as the wider internal lumen reduces the risk of tube occlusion.

  • Standard Jejunal Length: The 22 cm tail is the standard length for most adults, providing adequate reach into the small intestine past the Ligament of Treitz.

  • Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin for discretion and comfort. It is significantly less bulky than traditional "long" G-J tubes and is less likely to be accidentally dislodged.

  • Dual-Port System:

    • Gastric Port (White): For gastric decompression, air venting, or medication delivery.

    • Jejunal Port (Green): For continuous delivery of enteral nutrition.

  • Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Helps maintain the tube's position in the jejunum and prevents it from moving back into the stomach.

  • ENFit Safety Connectors:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, ensuring only enteral-specific syringes and sets can be attached.
