Description

The Avanos 0230-18-3.0 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This specialized device is used for patients who cannot tolerate gastric feeding and require a direct route for nutrition and medication into the small intestine (jejunum).

This model features an 18 French diameter and a 3.0 cm stoma length. The 3.0 cm length is one of the longer stoma sizes available, specifically engineered for patients with a significant abdominal wall thickness or those who require extra clearance for localized swelling or post-operative edema.

Key Features

  • Low-Profile Design: The external bolster (the "button") sits flush against the skin. This provides a discreet look, improves patient comfort, and reduces the risk of the tube being accidentally snagged or pulled out.

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

  • Trimmable 82 cm Jejunal Segment: The tube is supplied with a long distal segment (82 cm) made of 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: High-clarity, biocompatible silicone construction ensures the tube remains flexible and durable over its clinical lifespan.

  • 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 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 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.
