Description

The Avanos 0230-18-1.0 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This device is specifically engineered for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding and requires a direct route for nutrition and medication into the small intestine (jejunum).

The model number indicates an 18 French diameter and a 1.0 cm stoma length. The 18 Fr size is a robust diameter that allows for easier delivery of thicker formulas and reduces the likelihood of tube occlusion (clogging) compared to narrower 14 Fr models.

Key Features

  • Low-Profile Design: The external "button" sits flush against the skin. This provides a discreet look under clothing and helps prevent the tube from being accidentally snagged or pulled out by the patient.

  • 1.0 cm Stoma Length: Designed for patients with a thin abdominal wall, common in pediatric patients or lean adults.

  • Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The tube is supplied with a long distal segment (82 cm) made of high-clarity medical-grade silicone. During the placement procedure, a clinician trims the distal tip to the exact length required to reach the target site in the jejunum.

  • Internal Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone balloon (typically inflated with 7–10 mL of sterile water for 18 Fr) 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 connected.

  • Radiopaque Stripe & Tip: The tube features a radiopaque stripe and a weighted, radiopaque tip to facilitate clear visualization and position confirmation under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
