Description
The 8135-24 is the product code for the Avanos MIC-KEY Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube* in a 24 French size.
This is a low-profile "button" device. It is designed for patients with a mature stoma tract who require high-capacity feeding directly into the small intestine. At 24 French, it is the largest standard diameter available for the MIC-KEY* J-Tube line, offering a wider internal lumen that is less prone to clogging.

Key Features
Maximum Flow Rate: The 24 French bore is ideal for adult patients who use thicker nutritional formulas or multiple medications, as it provides the least resistance of all the low-profile J-tubes.
Low-Profile Design: Unlike standard "long" J-tubes, the MIC-KEY* sits flush against the skin. This makes it more discreet under clothing and reduces the risk of the tube being accidentally pulled or snagged.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal one-way valve prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Atraumatic Tip: The distal end is designed to be smooth and tapered to prevent irritation to the delicate mucosal lining of the jejunum.
Radiopaque Stripe: The tube is fully visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to verify that the tip remains correctly positioned in the small intestine.
