Radio-Opaque MIC-KEY Transgastric Jejunal Feeding Tube with Endo Connector, 16 Fr, 3.5 cm Stoma Length, 8270-16-3.5-45

$681.95

Description

16: The tube has a 16 French outer diameter.
3.5: The stoma length (abdominal wall thickness) is 3.5 cm.
45: The jejunal (distal) length is 45 cm, measured from the gastric balloon to the weighted tip.

Extended Stoma Length: The 3.5 cm shaft is specifically for patients with a thicker abdominal wall. This extra length prevents the external bolster from causing pressure necrosis or skin breakdown by ensuring it does not sit too tightly against the skin.
Maximum Jejunal Reach: The 45 cm tail is used for patients who have persistent issues with the tube "flipping" back into the stomach. This extra length helps keep the tip deep in the small intestine for continuous, reliable feeding.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more comfortable and discreet than a standard "long" tube. It is less likely to be accidentally pulled or caught on clothing.
Dual-Port Functionality:
- Gastric Port (White): For venting the stomach, decompression, or administering gastric medications.
- Jejunal Port (Green): For the continuous delivery of enteral nutrition.
Tungsten-Weighted Tip: The distal end is weighted to assist with placement and to help prevent the tube from migrating back into the stomach due to gastric motility.
ENFit Safety Connectors:* Features threaded ports that comply with ISO 80369-3 standards, preventing accidental connection to IV lines or other non-enteral devices.
