Description
The Avanos 8230-18-4.0 is the MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube* with a 4.0 cm stoma length.
This is a J-only device, designed for patients with a deep stoma tract who require direct small-bowel access for nutrition and medication without a gastric port.
Product Specifications
Model Number: 8230-18-4.0
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — Offers a mid-range diameter that balances comfort with excellent flow for formulas and medications.
Stoma Length: 4.0 cm — Designed for patients with a 40 mm abdominal wall thickness.
Jejunal Length: 51 cm — This is the standard "trimmable" length; the clinician cuts the distal end to the specific length required for the patient's internal anatomy during placement.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Internal retention balloon made of medical-grade silicone.
Key Features
Trimmable Distal Tip: The extra-long 51 cm tail allows the doctor to customize the depth of the tube within the jejunum, ensuring it is positioned correctly (typically past the Ligament of Treitz).
Deep Stoma Accommodation: The 4.0 cm shaft ensures the external "button" sits comfortably on the skin of patients with more subcutaneous tissue, preventing pressure necrosis or skin irritation.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the abdomen, making it discreet under clothes and reducing the risk of accidental snagging compared to a standard long tube.
ENFit Safety Connector:* Features an ISO 80369-3 compliant threaded port to prevent accidental connection to IV lines or other non-enteral devices.
Radiopaque Stripe: Built into the silicone tubing to allow for easy confirmation of the tube's position via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
