Description

The 8230-18-1.7 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube*.

This is a J-only device, providing direct access to the small intestine. It is designed for patients who do not require gastric venting or decompression but benefit from the 18 French diameter for reliable formula delivery and medication administration.

Product Specifications

  • Model Number: 8230-18-1.7

  • Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — A versatile mid-range diameter that offers excellent flow characteristics and reduced risk of clogging compared to smaller sizes.

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

  • 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: 7–10 ml — Inflatable internal retention balloon made of high-quality silicone for secure anchoring.


Key Features

  • Anatomical Customization: The 51 cm trimmable distal tip allows clinicians to tailor the length precisely to the patient’s small bowel anatomy during the surgical or radiologic placement.

  • Low-Profile Design: The "button" sits flush against the skin, making the device discreet and reducing the risk of accidental dislodgment compared to traditional "long" J-tubes.

  • Direct Jejunal Feeding: Ideal for patients with severe gastroparesis, gastric outlet obstruction, or other conditions where gastric feeding is not tolerated.

  • ENFit Safety Connector:* Fully compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, featuring a threaded lock that prevents accidental misconnections with IV lines or other non-enteral systems.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity construction allows for easy visual inspection of the tube lumen, while a radiopaque stripe ensures the tube can be located under X-ray.
