Description
The 8135-20 is the product code for the Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube* in a 20 French size.
Similar to the 14 French version, this is a low-profile "button" device. It is designed for patients who have a mature stoma tract and require direct feeding into the small intestine. The 20 French diameter is a common adult size, providing a larger internal lumen for improved flow of nutrition and medication.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: 8135-20-X.X (The suffix denotes the stoma length).
Size: 20 Fr (Outer Diameter).
Stoma Lengths: Available in various increments (e.g., 1.0 cm, 1.5 cm, 2.0 cm, up to 4.5 cm).
Balloon Volume: 7–10 ml (Inflatable silicone internal retention balloon).
Interface: Requires MIC-KEY Extension Sets* with ENFit® Connectors.
Material: High-grade medical silicone.
Key Features
Discreet Profile: The external portion of the tube sits flush against the skin. This reduces skin irritation, prevents accidental snagging on clothing, and is generally more comfortable for the patient compared to standard-length tubes.
Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve is located inside the button head to prevent intestinal contents from leaking out when the feeding set is disconnected.
Jejunal Specificity: While it shares a similar external appearance to the MIC-KEY* G-Tube, this device is internally engineered for post-pyloric (small bowel) placement.
Tapered Distal Tip: The tip is designed to be smooth and atraumatic to protect the delicate lining of the jejunum.
Radiopaque Stripe: This allows for easy visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy to ensure the tube has not migrated and remains properly positioned in the small intestine.
