Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-14-1.5
Outer Diameter: 14 French (Fr) — A smaller, slim-profile tube often used for pediatric patients or adults with narrower stoma tracts.
Stoma Length: 1.5 cm — Designed for patients with an average abdominal wall thickness of 15 mm.
Jejunal Length: 51 cm — The tube comes as a standard 51 cm length and is intended to be trimmed to size by the clinician during the placement procedure.
Balloon Volume: 3–5 ml — Inflatable internal retention balloon used to anchor the tube.
Key Features
Trimmable Distal Tip: The 51 cm distal segment allows for precise customization; a clinician cuts the tube to the exact length needed to reach the target area in the small bowel.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin (the "button" style), which is discreet, comfortable, and less likely to be accidentally dislodged than traditional long tubes.
Direct Jejunal Access: Specifically for patients who must bypass the stomach for all nutrition and medication.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity construction allows for easy visual inspection, and the radiopaque stripe enables placement confirmation under X-ray.
ENFit Safety Connector:* Complies with ISO 80369-3 standards to prevent accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems like IV lines.
