Frequently asked questions
Is the tube material safe for long-term use?
Yes, the MIC-KEY feeding tube is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade silicone. This material is chosen specifically for its durability and biocompatibility, making it an excellent option for patients who require long-term enteral nutrition.
How does the design prevent accidental pulling?
The low-profile design is specifically engineered to sit flush at skin level. By minimizing the external profile, the tube is significantly less likely to snag on clothing or be accidentally dislodged during daily activities, providing greater peace of mind for active users.
Does it support different types of feeding methods?
Yes, the kit is highly versatile and comes with everything needed for both primary feeding protocols:
- Continuous Feed Extension Set: Designed for steady, ongoing nutrient delivery.

Is the placement of the tube easy to verify?
Yes, the tube features an integrated radiopaque stripe. This allows healthcare professionals to easily verify the precise placement of the tube using standard X-ray imaging.
Does the system ensure secure, leak-proof feeding?
The system utilizes a lock-and-key style connection for all extension sets. This mechanism, combined with the standardized ENFit-compliant connections, ensures a reliable, leak-resistant seal for both nutrition and medication delivery.
How is the tube held securely inside the stomach?
The device features an inflatable internal retention balloon. Once inserted, this balloon is inflated to securely anchor the tube within the stomach, ensuring it stays properly positioned during use.
Are the connection types compatible with standard equipment?
The kit is designed to the current ENFit connection standard. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern clinical feeding equipment and syringes, promoting standardized, safe, and secure delivery.
Does the kit come with tools for insertion?
Yes, the kit is comprehensive and designed for clinical setup. It includes an insertion stylet and water-soluble lubricant to assist with the placement process, along with gauze pads and syringes for immediate post-insertion care.

To accommodate various clinical needs, the kit includes:
- One 6 mL Luer Slip syringe.
- One 35 mL ENFit enteral feeding syringe.
Is this product sterile upon arrival?
