Description
The 8230-18-3.5 is an Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube*.
This J-only device provides direct access to the small intestine. It is specifically designed for patients with a deep stoma tract and a requirement for a larger 18 French diameter to accommodate thicker nutritional formulas or medications.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-18-3.5
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — Offers a wider internal lumen than the 14 Fr series, which helps prevent clogging and allows for better flow rates.
Stoma Length: 3.5 cm — Sized for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 35 mm.
Jejunal Length: 51 cm — This is a standard "long" jejunal segment intended to be trimmed to size by a clinician during placement to ensure the tip is correctly seated in the small bowel.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — A medical-grade silicone inflatable balloon used to anchor the tube internally.
Key Features
Trimmable Distal Tip: The 51 cm tail allows for complete anatomical customization. The clinician cuts the tube to the exact length needed during the surgical or radiologic procedure.
Low-Profile Design: The external "button" sits flush against the skin. This design is discreet, comfortable, and significantly reduces the risk of accidental dislodgment compared to traditional long jejunal tubes.
Direct Jejunal Feeding: Used for patients who must bypass the stomach entirely due to issues like gastric motility disorders, severe reflux, or post-gastrectomy needs.
ENFit Safety Connector:* Features an ISO 80369-3 compliant threaded port to ensure the tube cannot be accidentally connected to non-enteral systems (like IV lines).
Radiopaque Stripe: The silicone tube includes a built-in stripe that is visible under X-ray, allowing for easy verification of the tube's position.
