Description

The Avanos 0230-14-3.5 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, severe reflux, or high aspiration risk.

The model number specifies a 14 French diameter and a 3.5 cm stoma length. This is one of the longest stoma lengths available, engineered for patients with a thicker abdominal wall or those requiring extra length to accommodate significant post-surgical swelling or localized edema.

Key Features

  • Low-Profile Design: The external "button" sits flush against the skin, making it discreet under clothing and reducing the risk of the tube being snagged or accidentally dislodged compared to traditional "long" tubes.

  • Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The tube is supplied with a long 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, high-clarity silicone that is flexible and durable, designed to minimize tissue irritation and enhance patient comfort.

  • Internal Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone internal 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 in the proximal head prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is not attached.

  • Radiopaque Stripe & Tip: Features a weighted, radiopaque tip and a stripe along the tube for clear visualization and position confirmation under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
