Description
The Avanos 0230-14-0.8 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. Unlike the G-J tubes which access both the stomach and small intestine, this specific model is dedicated solely to jejunal feeding.
The model number specifies the dimensions: 14 French diameter and a 0.8 cm stoma length. Notably, while the stoma length is 0.8 cm, the jejunal tubing itself is typically provided at a length of 82 cm, which can then be trimmed by a clinician to the specific depth required for the patient.
Key Features
Dedicated Jejunal Access: Designed for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding (due to reflux, aspiration risk, or gastroparesis) and require nutrition delivered directly into the small bowel.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discreet under clothing and reducing the risk of accidental snagging or dislodgement compared to traditional "long" J-tubes.
Trimmable Distal Tip: The 82 cm jejunal segment can be customized. Clinicians typically trim the tube so that the tip sits approximately 10–15 cm beyond the Ligament of Treitz.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Built with high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for durability and flexibility.
Internal Retention Balloon: A silicone balloon holds the tube in place inside the body. For a 14 Fr tube, the balloon is typically inflated with 3–5 mL of sterile water.
Proximal Anti-Reflux Valve: Includes an internal valve to help prevent the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is not connected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Features a stripe along the tube and a radiopaque tip to facilitate easy confirmation of placement via X-ray.
