Description

The Avanos 0230-14-4.5 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 4.5 cm stoma length. This is currently the longest standard stoma length available in the MIC-KEY* J-tube line, specifically engineered for patients with significant abdominal wall thickness or those requiring extra clearance for localized edema.

Key Features

  • 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.

  • 14 French Diameter: A standard size for jejunal feeding that provides a balance between ease of placement and the ability to deliver standard enteral formulas.

  • Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The tube features a long distal segment made of medical-grade silicone. This segment is clinically trimmed by a physician during placement to ensure the tip terminates in the precise location within the small bowel.

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

  • Anti-Reflux Valve: A built-in valve in the proximal head prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is not connected.

  • 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.
