Description
The 8230-18-2.0 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 require a 2.0 cm shaft length for a proper fit.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-18-2.0
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — A mid-sized diameter that offers a wider lumen for easier administration of medications and nutrition compared to the 14 Fr models.
Stoma Length: 2.0 cm — Designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 20 mm.
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 medical-grade silicone for secure anchoring.
Key Features
Trimmable Distal Tip: The 51 cm tail allows for precise 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: Specifically utilized for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding or who require nutrition to bypass the stomach entirely due to motility issues or surgery.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin. This design is highly discreet, comfortable, and significantly reduces the risk of accidental removal or snagging 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 or non-enteral lines.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity construction allows for easy visual inspection, with a radiopaque stripe for position verification under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
