Description

The 8230-14-1.7 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube*.

As part of the J-only series, this device is designed for patients who require direct access to the small intestine for nutrition and medication but do not need a gastric port for venting or decompression.

Product Specifications

  • Model Number: 8230-14-1.7

  • Outer Diameter: 14 French (Fr) — A slim, small-diameter profile often utilized for pediatric patients or adults with smaller stoma sites.

  • Stoma Length: 1.7 cm — Designed for patients with a 17 mm abdominal wall thickness.

  • Jejunal Length: 51 cm — This is the 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 — An inflatable internal retention balloon made of medical-grade silicone.


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 Design: Sits flush against the abdomen. This "button" style is preferred for its discretion and significantly lower risk of being snagged or pulled compared to traditional long G-J tubes.

  • 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.
