Description

The Avanos 0230-14-1.7 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This specialized device is used for patients who cannot receive nutrition through the stomach and requires access directly to the small intestine (jejunum).

The model number specifies a 14 French diameter and a 1.7 cm stoma length. This stoma length is slightly longer than the standard 1.5 cm, making it a better fit for patients with a slightly thicker abdominal wall or those experiencing mild localized edema (swelling) at the stoma site.

Key Features

  • Low-Profile Design: The external "button" sits flush against the skin, providing a discreet appearance and reducing the risk of accidental "pull-outs" common with traditional long tubes.

  • 1.7 cm Stoma Length: Specifically sized for patients who require a slightly deeper fit to prevent the external bolster from being too tight against the skin (which can lead to "buried bumper" syndrome or skin breakdown).

  • Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The tube comes with a long distal segment that is clinically trimmed by a physician during the placement procedure. This ensures the tip terminates at the precise depth required for the patient's small bowel anatomy.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction ensures the tube remains flexible and durable over its lifespan (typically 3–6 months).

  • Inflatable Retention Balloon: A silicone internal balloon (typically inflated with 3–5 mL of sterile water) keeps the tube securely in place.

  • Anti-Reflux Valve: A built-in valve in the proximal head prevents intestinal contents from leaking out when the extension set is disconnected.

  • Radiopaque Stripe & Tip: The tube features a radiopaque stripe and a weighted tip for clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
