Description

The Avanos 0230-18-2.3 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This device is specifically engineered for patients who require enteral nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine (jejunum), bypassing the stomach due to gastric motility disorders, severe reflux, or a high risk of aspiration.

The model number indicates an 18 French diameter and a 2.3 cm stoma length. The 2.3 cm length is intended for patients with a slightly thicker-than-average abdominal wall, ensuring the "button" sits comfortably without being too tight against the skin.

Key Features

  • 18 French Diameter: Provides a robust lumen that allows for easier delivery of thicker nutritional formulas and reduces the likelihood of tube clogging compared to narrower 14 Fr models.

  • 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.

  • Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The tube features a long distal segment (82 cm) made of high-clarity 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.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from biocompatible, high-clarity silicone that is flexible and durable, designed to minimize tissue irritation and enhance patient comfort.

  • Inflatable Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone internal balloon (typically inflated with 5 mL of sterile water) 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: Features a weighted, radiopaque tip and a stripe along the tube for clear visualization and position confirmation under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
