Description

The Avanos 0230-18-4.0 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 specific model features an 18 French diameter and a 4.0 cm stoma length. The 4.0 cm length is one of the longest stoma sizes available in the MIC-KEY* line, specifically engineered for patients with significant abdominal wall thickness or those who require extra clearance for localized edema or post-operative swelling.

Key Features

  • 18 French Diameter: Provides a robust internal 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: The external bolster 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 (approx. 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 (usually verified under fluoroscopy).

  • 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 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.
