Description
The Avanos 0230-14-4.0 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This specialized enteral access device is designed for patients who require direct nutrition into the small intestine (jejunum), bypassing the stomach due to motility issues, severe reflux, or a high risk of aspiration.
The model number indicates a 14 French diameter and a 4.0 cm stoma length. The 4.0 cm length is one of the longest stoma lengths available, engineered specifically for patients with a significant abdominal wall thickness or those who require extra clearance for localized edema or post-operative swelling.
Key Features
Dedicated Jejunal Access: Used exclusively for small bowel feeding. It is the preferred choice for patients with gastroparesis, gastric outlet obstruction, or those who have undergone 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 by clothing or accidentally pulled out.
Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The tube is supplied 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 precise location within the jejunum (typically 10–15 cm beyond the Ligament of Treitz).
Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from 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 for a 14 Fr tube) that 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 disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe & Tip: The tube features a radiopaque stripe along its length and a weighted, radiopaque tip for clear visualization and position confirmation under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
