Description
The 8270-16-2.5-30 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube**.
This "button-style" replacement tube is designed for patients who require simultaneous gastric venting and jejunal feeding. This specific configuration is tailored for patients with a 2.5 cm stoma tract who need a longer jejunal tail to ensure stable placement deep within the small intestine.
Dimensional Breakdown
16: The tube has a 16 French outer diameter.
2.5: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 2.5 cm.
30: The jejunal (distal) length is 30 cm, measured from the gastric balloon to the weighted tip.
Key Features
Accommodates Deeper Stoma Tracts: The 2.5 cm shaft length is specifically designed for patients with a thicker abdominal wall. This ensures a proper fit that avoids being too tight against the skin, helping to prevent pressure necrosis and "buried bumper syndrome."
Extended 30 cm Jejunal Tail: This longer tail is typically selected for patients whose anatomy requires the feeding tip to be placed further past the Ligament of Treitz. This extra length helps prevent the tube from "flipping" back into the stomach.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more discreet and comfortable than traditional "long" G-J tubes. It is less likely to be snagged on clothing or accidentally pulled.
Dual-Port Access:
Gastric Port (White): Used for removing air or fluid from the stomach (venting) and administering gastric medications.
Jejunal Port (Green): Dedicated to the continuous delivery of enteral nutrition directly into the small bowel.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted to help gravity maintain the tube's position in the jejunum and resist migration caused by gastric contractions.
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Features threaded ports compliant with ISO 80360-3 standards, ensuring only enteral-specific syringes and feeding sets can be connected.
