Description
The 8230-18-3.0 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube*.
This is a J-only device designed for direct small bowel access. It is specifically sized for patients with a deep stoma tract (3.0 cm) who require a larger 18 French diameter for improved flow and reduced clogging.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-18-3.0
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — A mid-range diameter that provides a larger internal lumen than 14 Fr or 16 Fr models, facilitating easier administration of medications and thicker formulas.
Stoma Length: 3.0 cm — Designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 30 mm.
Jejunal Length: 51 cm — The standard length for this series; it is designed to be trimmed to size by a clinician during the placement procedure to fit the patient's anatomy.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable internal retention balloon made of high-quality medical-grade silicone for secure anchoring.
Key Features
Anatomical Customization: The 51 cm distal segment is trimmable, allowing the clinician to customize the length to ensure the tip is perfectly positioned in the jejunum (usually past the Ligament of Treitz).
Low-Profile Design: The external "button" 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" J-tubes.
Direct Jejunal Access: Used for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding or who require nutrition to bypass the stomach entirely due to surgery, gastroparesis, or severe reflux.
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, while a radiopaque stripe ensures the tube can be easily located under X-ray.
