Description

The Avanos 0230-18-0.8 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 due to gastric motility disorders, severe reflux, or high aspiration risk.

The model number specifies an 18 French diameter and a very shallow 0.8 cm stoma length. This configuration is typically used for infants, young children, or extremely lean adults with very little abdominal wall thickness.

Key Features

  • Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin, making the device discreet and comfortable while significantly reducing the risk of accidental dislodgement.

  • 18 French Diameter: A mid-to-large size for a jejunal tube, providing excellent flow rates for nutritional formulas and minimizing the risk of clogging.

  • 0.8 cm Stoma Length: Designed for a very thin stoma tract to ensure a snug fit against the skin, preventing "play" that could lead to leakage or tissue irritation.

  • Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The kit includes a long distal segment (approx. 82 cm) 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 jejunum.

  • Internal Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone balloon (typically inflated with 5 mL of sterile water for 18 Fr) 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 disconnected.

  • 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.
