Description

The Avanos 0230-18-1.5 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This device is a gold standard for patients who require enteral nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine (jejunum), bypassing the stomach due to issues like gastroparesis, severe reflux, or chronic aspiration.

The model number specifies an 18 French diameter and a 1.5 cm stoma length. This stoma length is a very common size for adults with an average abdominal wall thickness.

Key Features

  • 18 French Diameter: Offers a wider internal lumen than the 14 Fr models, which helps prevent clogging and allows for the delivery of more viscous (thicker) nutritional formulas.

  • Low-Profile Design: The external "button" sits flush against the skin. It is more discreet than traditional long tubes and reduces the likelihood of the tube being pulled out or snagged on clothing.

  • Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The kit includes an 82 cm distal tube made of high-clarity medical-grade silicone. During the surgical or fluoroscopic placement, a physician trims the tube to the exact length needed for the patient's anatomy.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: The tube is constructed from biocompatible silicone for flexibility, durability, and maximum patient comfort.

  • Internal Retention Balloon: A silicone balloon (typically inflated with 7–10 mL of sterile water) keeps the tube securely in place within the small bowel.

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

  • Weighted Radiopaque Tip: Includes a tungsten-weighted, radiopaque tip and a radiopaque stripe along the tube to ensure it stays in place and is easily visible under X-ray.
