$316.95

Description

The 8230-18-4.5 is the maximum stoma length available in the Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Low-Profile Feeding Tube* 18 French series.

This J-only device is specifically designed for patients with very thick abdominal walls who require direct access to the small intestine.

Model Number: 8230-18-4.5
Outer Diameter: 18 French (Fr) — Provides a wider lumen than 14 Fr or 16 Fr models, allowing for easier flow of thicker formulas and better medication administration.
Stoma Length: 4.5 cm — The longest shaft available in this series, designed for patients with an abdominal wall thickness of 45 mm to ensure a proper, pressure-free fit.
Jejunal Length: 51 cm — The standard length for the "J-only" series; the tube is intended to be trimmed to size by a clinician during placement to fit the patient's internal anatomy.
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml — Inflatable internal retention balloon made of medical-grade silicone for secure anchoring.

Anatomical Customization: The 51 cm distal tail is trimmable, allowing the clinician to customize the length to ensure the tip is seated correctly in the small bowel.
Maximum Stoma Depth: The 4.5 cm shaft is critical for patients with significant subcutaneous tissue, ensuring the external "button" sits comfortably and does not press too tightly against the skin.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the abdomen. This "button" style is discreet and significantly reduces the risk of being snagged or pulled compared to traditional long tubes.
Direct Jejunal Access: Used for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding or who have had surgery requiring them 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.
Radiopaque Stripe: Built into the silicone tubing to allow for easy confirmation of the tube's position via X-ray.
