Description

The Avanos 0230-18-2.7 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This specialized enteral access device is designed for patients who require nutrition delivered directly into the small intestine (jejunum) because they cannot tolerate gastric feeding.

This model features an 18 French diameter and a 2.7 cm stoma length. The 2.7 cm length is specifically engineered for patients with a thicker abdominal wall or those who require extra clearance for localized post-surgical swelling, ensuring the "button" sits comfortably without being too tight against the skin.

Key Features

  • 18 French Diameter: Provides a wider internal lumen than 14 Fr models, which facilitates the delivery of thicker formulas and reduces the likelihood of tube clogging.

  • Low-Profile Design: The external "button" bolster sits flush against the skin, making the device discreet under clothing and reducing the risk of accidental dislodgement.

  • 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.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from biocompatible silicone for flexibility, durability, and patient comfort.

  • Internal Retention Balloon: A high-quality silicone internal balloon (typically inflated with 7–10 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 not attached.

  • 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.
