Description
The Avanos 0230-14-1.5 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 due to gastric motility issues or high aspiration risk.
The model number indicates a 14 French diameter and a 1.5 cm stoma length. This stoma length is a common standard for adult patients with a typical abdominal wall thickness.
Key Features
Dedicated Jejunal Access: Used specifically when gastric feeding is contraindicated. It is ideal for patients with gastroparesis, gastric outlet obstruction, or those who have had previous esophageal or gastric surgery.
Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, offering a more discreet and comfortable fit than traditional long tubes. This reduces the risk of the tube being snagged or accidentally pulled out.
Trimmable Jejunal Segment: The tube comes with an 82 cm jejunal segment. This length is designed to be trimmed by a clinician during placement to match the patient’s internal anatomy.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from high-clarity, biocompatible silicone that is flexible and durable, designed to minimize skin and internal tissue irritation.
Internal Retention Balloon: Features a silicone balloon (typically inflated with 3–5 mL of sterile water) that holds the tube securely in place within the small bowel.
Proximal Anti-Reflux Valve: Includes a built-in one-way valve in the external head to prevent the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is not connected.
Radiopaque Stripe & Tip: The entire tube has a radiopaque stripe, and the tip is weighted/radiopaque to facilitate clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy for placement verification.
