Description
The Avanos 0230-14-2.0 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This device is specifically engineered 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 2.0 cm stoma length. The 2.0 cm length is a standard adult size, providing a comfortable fit for patients with an average abdominal wall thickness while maintaining a low-profile, "button" appearance.
Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making the device discreet, comfortable, and less likely to be accidentally dislodged than traditional long tubes.
Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The tube comes with an 82 cm distal segment made of high-clarity medical-grade silicone. This segment is clinically trimmed by a physician during placement to ensure the tip terminates in the optimal position within the jejunum.
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from biocompatible silicone that is flexible and durable, designed to reduce tissue irritation and enhance patient comfort.
Inflatable Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone internal balloon (typically inflated with 3–5 mL of sterile water) holds the tube securely in place.
Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal valve in the proximal head prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is not attached.
Radiopaque Stripe & Tip: The tube features a radiopaque stripe along its length and a weighted, radiopaque tip to facilitate easy confirmation of placement via X-ray or fluoroscopy.
