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.
