Frequently asked questions
Does this kit include everything needed for initial use?
Yes, this is a complete feeding solution. The kit includes the MIC-KEY feeding tube, insertion stylet, water-soluble lubricant, both continuous and bolus feed extension sets, syringes, and a gauze pad for immediate clinical use.
Is this tube compatible with ENFit connectors?
Yes, this MIC-KEY kit is fully compliant with the ENFit standard. The system is specifically engineered to improve patient safety by preventing misconnections with other non-enteral devices.
How does the low-profile design improve comfort?
Unlike traditional PEG tubes, the low-profile design allows the device to sit flush against the skin. This significantly reduces the visual footprint, prevents snagging on clothing, and offers greater mobility and comfort for the user.
Can medical staff easily verify the tube placement?
Yes, the tube features a radiopaque stripe. This allows healthcare professionals to easily visualize and verify the tube’s position accurately using standard imaging techniques.
What is the purpose of the recessed distal tip?
The distal tip is specifically recessed to enhance patient comfort by minimizing irritation within the stoma site during long-term placement.
Is this product provided in sterile condition?
Yes, this kit is sterile and factory new, ensuring it meets strict clinical requirements for medical device safety and hygiene.
Is this kit suitable for both bolus and continuous feeding?
Absolutely. The inclusion of two distinct extension sets ensures the kit is ready for either bolus feeding (using the dedicated set) or continuous feeding (using the continuous set) depending on the patient’s nutritional requirements.
Are the extension sets included?
Yes, the kit comes with two specific 12-inch extension sets: one designed for continuous feeding and one for bolus feeding, both featuring secure ENFit connections.
What material is the feeding tube made of?
The tube is constructed from high-quality, flexible medical-grade silicone, which is designed for durability and patient comfort during long-term use.
How is the tube secured once inserted?
The tube is secured using an inflatable internal retention balloon. This mechanism holds the device firmly in place within the stomach while maintaining a low profile externally.
