Description
The 8230-18-2.5 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube*.
This is a J-only device (not a G-J tube), providing direct access to the small intestine. It is designed for patients who do not require gastric venting but need a larger 18 French diameter and a 2.5 cm shaft length for a secure, comfortable fit.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-18-2.5
Manufacturer: Avanos Medical (formerly Halyard Health/Kimberly-Clark)
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — A mid-range diameter that provides a wider lumen for better formula flow and easier medication delivery.
Stoma Length: 2.5 cm — Designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 25 mm.
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.
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.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin. This "button" style is discreet, comfortable, and significantly reduces the risk of accidental removal or snagging compared to traditional long tubes.
Direct Jejunal Feeding: Specifically used for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding or who require nutrition to bypass the stomach entirely.
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.
