Frequently asked questions
Is this tube made from high-quality medical-grade materials?
Yes, the MIC Bolus Gastrostomy Feeding Tube is constructed from premium biocompatible, medical-grade silicone. This material is specifically chosen to provide long-lasting durability while ensuring maximum patient comfort during use.
Does it use the latest secure connection standards?
Absolutely. This tube is equipped with an ENFit connector, which represents the current industry standard for enteral feeding. This design is engineered for safer, more secure connections to prevent misconnections.
How does the tube stay securely in place?
The tube features a dual-retention system to ensure it remains correctly positioned:
- Inflatable silicone internal retention balloon: Keeps the distal tip secure within the stomach.
- SECUR-LOK external retention ring: A proprietary ring that slides along the shaft to anchor the tube firmly against the skin.
Is it easy for clinicians to verify the tube's position?
Yes, the device is designed for clinical precision. It includes a radiopaque stripe that runs the length of the tube, allowing for clear and accurate visualization during clinical imaging and placement procedures.
Does the tube include markings for accurate placement?
Yes, the shaft is clearly marked with numerical measurements (2, 4, 8, and 10). These markings assist healthcare providers in ensuring the tube is positioned at the correct depth for each individual patient.
Is this tube designed specifically for bolus feeding?
Yes, the MIC Gastrostomy Feeding Tube is precision-engineered specifically for patients on a bolus feeding regimen, ensuring consistent and reliable delivery of nutrition.
What is the specific size of this feeding tube?
This particular model (Manufacturer Part Number: 8110-18) is an 18 Fr. (French) size, providing the standard diameter required for many gastric feeding applications.
Does the design help prevent irritation at the tip?
Yes, the tube features a recessed distal tip. This thoughtful design detail is intended to minimize patient discomfort and potential irritation during prolonged use.
Can I easily distinguish between gastric and balloon access ports?
Yes, the proximal end features a dual-port Y-connector that is clearly labeled for ‘Gastric’ and ‘Bal.’ (balloon) access, preventing confusion during administration or maintenance.
Is the construction of the tube flexible?
Yes, the tube is crafted from a flexible, high-quality silicone shaft. This flexibility allows the tube to move comfortably with the patient while maintaining its structural integrity.
