Description

The Avanos 0121-24 is a MIC* Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube. This is a traditional-length (long) tube designed for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding and require nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine (jejunum).

This model features a 24 French diameter, which is a large-bore size for a jejunal tube. It is primarily used for adult patients who require high-volume feeding or for those who need a wider lumen to prevent clogs when using high-viscosity formulas.

Key Features

  • Direct Jejunal Access: Designed for placement into the jejunum, bypassing the stomach. This is often necessary for patients with gastric motility issues, severe reflux, or those at high risk for aspiration.

  • 24 French Diameter: A wide-bore diameter for a J-tube, providing excellent flow rates and significantly reducing the risk of obstruction from medication or thick enteral formulas.

  • 7–10 mL Retention Balloon: Features an internal medical-grade silicone balloon that anchors the tube securely within the intestinal wall.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that remains soft and flexible, reducing the risk of tissue irritation.

  • SECUR-LOK* External Retention Ring: A ventilated sliding bolster that holds the tube at the skin level. This design allows air to circulate around the stoma, which is critical for maintaining skin health and preventing moisture buildup.

  • Radiopaque Stripe & Tip: A longitudinal line runs the length of the tube, and the distal tip is radiopaque, allowing for easy verification of the tube’s position deep within the small bowel via X-ray.

  • Trimmable Length: Many MIC* J-tubes are designed to be trimmable at the distal end to accommodate the specific internal anatomy of the patient.

Care and Maintenance

Because J-tubes feed into the small intestine, which lacks the churning capabilities of the stomach, they are highly sensitive to clogs. Even with a large 24 Fr tube, it is vital to:

  1. Flush Frequently: Use sterile water (as directed by a clinician) before and after every feed and medication administration.

  2. Verify Position: Periodically check that the tube has not migrated back into the stomach, as this could cause vomiting or aspiration.
