Description
The 8230-18-2.3 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 an 18 French diameter and a 2.3 cm shaft length for a proper, comfortable fit.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-18-2.3
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — A mid-sized diameter that offers a wider lumen for easier administration of thicker formulas and medications compared to the 14 Fr or 16 Fr series.
Stoma Length: 2.3 cm — Specifically sized for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 23 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 high-quality 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 jejunum (typically past the Ligament of Treitz).
Direct Jejunal Access: Used for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding or who require nutrition to bypass the stomach entirely due to surgery or motility disorders.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin. This "button" style 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 lines or other non-enteral systems.
Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity construction allows for easy monitoring of flow and cleanliness, while an embedded radiopaque stripe allows for position verification under X-ray.
