Description
The 8230-18-1.5 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. It is designed for patients who do not require gastric venting but benefit from the larger 18 French diameter for easier administration of nutrition and medication.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-18-1.5
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — A mid-range diameter that offers better flow rates and more resistance to clogging than the 14 Fr or 16 Fr series.
Stoma Length: 1.5 cm — Designed for patients with a 15 mm abdominal wall thickness.
Jejunal Length: 51 cm — This is the standard "J-only" length; the tube is designed to be trimmed to size by a clinician during the placement procedure.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable internal retention balloon made of medical-grade silicone for secure anchoring.
Key Features
Trimmable Distal Tip: The 51 cm tail allows for anatomical customization. The clinician trims the tube to the exact length needed to ensure the tip is seated correctly in the small bowel.
Direct Jejunal Feeding: Used for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding or who have had surgery requiring them to bypass the stomach entirely.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin. This design is highly discreet, comfortable, and significantly reduces the risk of accidental removal compared to traditional long tubes.
ENFit Safety Connector:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 safety standards, featuring a threaded port to prevent accidental misconnections with IV lines.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity construction allows for easy visual inspection, with a radiopaque stripe for position verification under X-ray.
