Description
The 8230-14-1.2 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube*.
This is a J-only device, designed for patients who require direct access to the small intestine for nutrition and medication without the need for a gastric venting port.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-14-1.2
Outer Diameter: 14 French (Fr) — A slim, small-diameter profile frequently used in pediatric patients or adults with smaller stoma sites.
Stoma Length: 1.2 cm — Designed for patients with a 12 mm abdominal wall thickness.
Jejunal Length: 51 cm — This is a standard length for the "J-only" series; the tube is designed to be trimmed to size by a clinician during the placement procedure.
Balloon Volume: 3–5 ml — A medical-grade silicone inflatable anchor to keep the tube secured in the jejunum.
Key Features
Trimmable Distal Tip: The 51 cm distal segment allows for anatomical customization. The clinician trims the tube to the specific length required to ensure the tip is properly seated in the small bowel.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it more discreet and comfortable than a traditional long tube. This design significantly reduces the risk of accidental pulling or snagging on clothing.
Direct Jejunal Feeding: Specifically utilized for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding or who require nutrition to bypass the stomach entirely.
ENFit Safety Connector:* Features an ISO 80369-3 compliant threaded port to ensure the tube cannot be accidentally connected to non-enteral systems like IV lines.
High-Clarity Silicone: Allows for easy visual inspection of the lumen, while an embedded radiopaque stripe allows for position verification under X-ray.
