Description

The Avanos 0230-18-3.5 is a MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube Kit. This device is specifically designed for patients who cannot receive nutrition through the stomach and require direct access to the small intestine (jejunum).

This model features an 18 French diameter and a 3.5 cm stoma length. The 3.5 cm length is one of the longer options available, engineered for patients with a thicker abdominal wall or those who need extra clearance due to localized swelling or post-surgical edema.

Key Features

  • 18 French Diameter: Provides a larger internal lumen than 14 Fr models, which facilitates the delivery of higher-viscosity (thicker) formulas and significantly reduces the risk of tube clogging.

  • Low-Profile "Button" Design: Sits flush against the skin. This discreet profile improves patient comfort and mobility while minimizing the risk of the tube being snagged by clothing or accidentally pulled out.

  • 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 terminate 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 balloon (typically inflated with 5–10 mL of sterile water) keeps the tube securely anchored 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.

  • Radiopaque Stripe & Tip: Features a weighted, radiopaque tip and a longitudinal stripe for clear visualization and position confirmation under X-ray or fluoroscopy.
