Description

The Avanos 0230-18-2.0 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This device is used for patients who require direct access to the small intestine (jejunum) for nutrition and medication because they cannot tolerate feeding into the stomach.

The model number specifies an 18 French diameter and a 2.0 cm stoma length. This size is a common standard for adult patients with a typical abdominal wall thickness, providing a comfortable, flush fit.

Key Features

  • 18 French Diameter: Provides a wider internal channel than the 14 Fr models, which helps prevent clogging and allows for the delivery of higher-viscosity (thicker) enteral formulas.

  • Low-Profile "Button" Design: The external bolster sits flush against the skin. This makes the device more discreet, comfortable, and less likely to be accidentally dislodged by clothing or movement compared to traditional long tubes.

  • Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The tube is supplied with a long distal segment 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 (usually verified under fluoroscopy).

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

  • Anti-Reflux Valve: An internal valve within the button prevents the backflow of intestinal contents when the extension set is not attached.

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