Description
The Avanos 0301-14 is a MIC* Jejunostomy Feeding Tube. Unlike the low-profile "button" G-J tubes discussed previously, this is a specialized surgical feeding tube designed for direct, long-term placement into the small bowel (jejunum).
It is typically placed by a surgeon using the Witzel Tunnel technique, which helps secure the tube and minimize the risk of leakage at the insertion site.
Key Features
High-Flow Internal Diameter: While the outer diameter is 14 French, it features a large 9 French internal diameter. This design specifically helps prevent clogging, a common issue with smaller jejunal tubes.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity silicone that is biocompatible and flexible, allowing the tube to drape naturally against the patient's body.
Integrated Suture Wings: Features built-in wings at the base to allow the surgeon to suture the tube securely to the skin, preventing migration or accidental removal.
Trimmable Distal Tip: The tip of the tube is trimmable, allowing the clinician to customize the length based on the patient's specific anatomy.
Radiopaque Stripe: Includes a radiopaque stripe along the entire length of the tube for clear visualization and position confirmation under X-ray.
Male Luer Lock Connector: Equipped with a standard male Luer lock to ensure a secure connection to feeding sets.
