Description
The 8230-14-4.5 is the largest stoma length available in the Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube* 14 French series.
This J-only device is specifically designed for patients with a very deep stoma tract (4.5 cm) who require direct access to the small intestine without the need for a gastric venting port.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-14-4.5
Outer Diameter: 14 French (Fr) — A slim, small-diameter profile often used for pediatric patients or adults with narrower stoma sites.
Stoma Length: 4.5 cm — The maximum available shaft length, designed for patients with a 45 mm abdominal wall thickness to ensure a comfortable fit and prevent skin irritation.
Jejunal Length: 51 cm — 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 — Inflatable internal retention balloon made of medical-grade silicone for secure anchoring.
Key Features
Anatomical Customization: The extra-long 51 cm distal segment allows the clinician to cut the tube to the precise length needed for optimal placement in the small intestine.
Maximum Stoma Depth: The 4.5 cm shaft is critical for patients with significant subcutaneous tissue, ensuring the external "button" does not press too tightly against the skin.
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:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, featuring a threaded port to prevent accidental misconnections with 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.
