Description
The 8230-18-0.8 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube*.
This is a J-only device, meaning it provides direct access to the small intestine and does not include a gastric access or venting port. It is specifically sized for patients with a very thin abdominal wall.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-18-0.8
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — A mid-range diameter that offers a good balance between patient comfort and formula flow rate.
Stoma Length: 0.8 cm — One of the shortest shaft lengths available, designed for patients with only 8 mm of abdominal wall thickness.
Jejunal Length: 51 cm — The standard length for the "J-only" series; the tube is intended to be trimmed to size by a clinician during placement.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — A larger inflatable silicone internal anchor than the 14 Fr series, providing more secure retention.
Key Features
Direct Jejunal Access: Specifically for patients who require nutrition to bypass the stomach due to gastroparesis, severe reflux, or gastric surgery.
Trimmable Distal Tip: The 51 cm distal segment allows the clinician to customize the tube length to match the patient’s internal anatomy, ensuring the tip is placed correctly in the jejunum.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making the device discreet and reducing the risk of accidental pulling or displacement.
ENFit Safety Connector:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, featuring a threaded port to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity construction allows for easy monitoring of flow and cleanliness. It includes a radiopaque stripe for position verification via X-ray.
