Description
The Avanos 0230-14-1.2 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This device is engineered for patients who require direct access to the small intestine (jejunum) for nutrition and medication, bypassing the stomach entirely.
The model number specifies a 14 French diameter and a 1.2 cm stoma length. Like other tubes in this series, it features a long 82 cm jejunal segment designed to be clinically trimmed to the specific internal requirements of the patient.
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: The external "button" sits flush against the skin. This makes the device more discreet, comfortable, and less likely to be accidentally dislodged compared to traditional long jejunal tubes.
1.2 cm Stoma Length: This specific length is designed for patients with a slightly thicker abdominal wall than those using the 0.8 cm or 1.0 cm models, often fitting older children or lean adults.
Trimmable Jejunal Segment: The 82 cm distal tubing is made of high-clarity silicone. During placement, a clinician trims the tube to the appropriate length so the tip terminates correctly in the jejunum.
Inflatable Silicone Balloon: An internal retention balloon (typically inflated with 3–5 mL of sterile water) holds the tube securely in place within the small bowel.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal valve within the proximal "button" prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is not attached.
Radiopaque Stripe & Tip: The tube includes a radiopaque stripe and a weighted tip to ensure clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy for placement verification.
