Description
The 8135-14 is the product code for the Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube* in a 14 French size.
Unlike the 8100 series we discussed, which are "standard-length" tubes with a long tail, the 8135 series consists of low-profile "button" devices. These sit flush against the skin, making them much more discreet and comfortable for active patients.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: 8135-14 (Followed by a stoma length, e.g., 8135-14-1.5)
Size: 14 Fr (Outer Diameter)
Stoma Lengths: Available in lengths ranging from 1.0 cm to 4.5 cm (to match the thickness of the patient's abdominal wall).
Balloon Volume: 3–5 ml (Inflatable silicone internal retention balloon).
Connectors: ENFit® Connection Port (Requires a specific MIC-KEY* extension set for feeding).
Material: Medical-grade silicone.
Sterility: Sterile (Single-use).
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Because the tube sits flush against the skin, it is less likely to be caught on clothing or pulled out accidentally. This is the preferred choice for pediatric patients and active adults.
J-Tube Specific: While it looks like a standard G-button, the internal "tail" of this device is designed to be positioned in the jejunum.
Recessed Distal Tip: The tip is designed to be atraumatic to prevent irritation to the sensitive lining of the small intestine.
Proximal Anti-Reflux Valve: Located inside the "button" to prevent stomach or intestinal contents from leaking out when the extension set is not connected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Allows clinicians to confirm the position of the tube using X-ray or fluoroscopy.
