Frequently asked questions
Does the silicone material ensure long-term comfort?
Yes, the MIC-KEY is constructed from high-quality medical-grade silicone, which is known for its biocompatibility and softness. Its low-profile, flush-to-skin design and recessed distal tip are specifically engineered to minimize irritation and maximize patient comfort during daily activity.
Is this kit compatible with standard ENFit connections?
Absolutely. This kit is fully compliant with the modern ENFit connection system, which provides a standardized, secure lock-and-key interface. This design prevents misconnections and ensures the safe, reliable delivery of both nutrition and medication.
Does the tube include features for easy clinical monitoring?
Yes, the tube is equipped with a radiopaque stripe. This feature allows for clear visualization under imaging, ensuring that clinical staff can easily verify the tube’s position and integrity.
Is the internal balloon reliable for secure placement?
The kit features an inflatable internal retention balloon, which is the gold standard for maintaining the tube’s position securely within the stomach while remaining gentle on internal tissues.
Are all necessary accessories included for a complete setup?
Yes, this is a comprehensive kit designed to simplify the insertion and initial feeding process. It includes:
- Insertion stylet and lubricant
- Continuous and bolus feed extension sets
- 6 mL and 35 mL syringes
- Gauze pads
How discreet is this tube under clothing?
The Low-Profile design is intentionally engineered to sit flush at skin level. This significantly reduces the external footprint compared to traditional gastrostomy tubes, allowing for a more discreet appearance and greater freedom of movement for the patient.
Can I perform both bolus and continuous feedings?
Yes. To provide maximum versatility, the kit includes two separate 12-inch extension sets:
- Bolus Feed Extension Set: For scheduled, meal-style feedings.
- Continuous Feed Extension Set: For steady, gravity, or pump-assisted feeding.
Is this product sterile for immediate clinical use?
Yes, the MIC-KEY kit is supplied sterile. All components are organized in a compartmentalized tray to maintain sterility and clinical integrity until the moment you are ready to perform the procedure.
Is the syringe included compatible with the feeding tube?
The kit contains a 35 mL ENFit enteral feeding syringe specifically designed to lock securely into the tube’s connector, ensuring a leak-free and safe connection during administration.
Is the 14 Fr size suitable for standard requirements?
The 14 Fr (French) size is a standard clinical diameter for gastrostomy tubes, offering a balanced flow rate for nutritional formulas and medications while maintaining a manageable size for patient comfort.
