Description
the 8270-16-3.0-45 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal (G-J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube**.
This is the largest standard configuration available in the 16 French series, combining the deepest stoma shaft with the longest jejunal tail. It is a "button-style" replacement tube for patients who require simultaneous gastric venting and jejunal feeding.
Dimensional Breakdown
16: The tube has a 16 French outer diameter.
3.0: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 3.0 cm.
45: The jejunal (distal) length is 45 cm, measured from the gastric balloon to the weighted tip.
Key Features
Maximum Stoma Depth: The 3.0 cm shaft length is designed for patients with a thicker abdominal wall. This ensures the low-profile button does not sink into or press too hard against the skin, which is vital for preventing pressure ulcers and "buried bumper syndrome."
Maximum Jejunal Reach: The 45 cm jejunal tail is specialized for patients who struggle with tube migration. The extra length ensures the weighted tip remains deep in the small intestine, well past the Ligament of Treitz.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, providing a discreet solution that is easily hidden under clothing and less likely to be snagged than traditional long tubes.
Dual-Port System:
Gastric Port (White): Used for removing air or fluid (venting) and gastric medication delivery.
Jejunal Port (Green): Specifically for continuous nutrition delivery.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: Helps gravity 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 to ensure the tube cannot be accidentally connected to non-enteral lines.
