Description

The Avanos 0230-14-1.0 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This specialized device is designed for patients who require enteral nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine (jejunum), bypassing the stomach entirely.

The model number specifies a 14 French diameter and a 1.0 cm stoma length. While the stoma length is fixed at 1.0 cm, the jejunal tubing is provided at a length of 82 cm, which is designed to be trimmed by a clinician to fit the patient's specific internal anatomy.

Key Features

  • Dedicated Jejunal Feeding: Specifically for patients with impaired gastric motility, severe gastroesophageal reflux, or those at high risk for aspiration who cannot be fed into the stomach.

  • Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discreet and reducing the risk of the tube being snagged or pulled out accidentally.

  • Trimmable Jejunal Segment: The 82 cm tube is customizable. A physician typically trims the tube during the placement procedure so that the distal tip resides in the optimal position within the jejunum.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone for flexibility and patient comfort.

  • Internal Retention Balloon: A silicone balloon (typically inflated with 3–5 mL of sterile water for a 14 Fr size) holds the tube securely in place.

  • Proximal Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal valve located in the "button" helps prevent the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is disconnected.

  • Radiopaque Stripe and Tip: The tube features a radiopaque stripe and a weighted, radiopaque tip to allow for easy confirmation of the tube’s position via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
