Frequently asked questions
Does this kit include everything needed for placement?
Yes, the kit is comprehensive and includes the following essential items:
- MIC-KEY Low-Profile Feeding Tube
- Insertion Stylet
- Water-soluble lubricant
- Both Continuous and Bolus Feed Extension Sets (12-inch)
- 6 mL Luer Slip Syringe and 35 mL Enteral Feeding Syringe
- Gauze Pad
Is the tube made of comfortable, medical-grade material?
Yes, this device is constructed from high-quality, flexible silicone. This material is chosen specifically for its durability and its ability to minimize skin irritation at the stoma site during long-term use.
Why is the low-profile design beneficial?
The low-profile design allows the tube to sit flush against the skin rather than protruding. This offers two main benefits:
- Discretion: It is less visible under clothing.
- Comfort/Mobility: It reduces bulk, which prevents snagging and allows for significantly improved mobility throughout daily activities.
How does the connection system prevent accidental leaks?
The device uses a specialized lock-and-key connection system. This mechanism is specifically engineered to be compatible with MIC-KEY extension sets, ensuring a secure, reliable attachment that prevents accidental disconnects during feeding sessions.
Are there built-in safety features for clinical verification?
Yes, for added safety during placement and ongoing monitoring, the tube includes:
- A radiopaque stripe: Allows for clear visualization during X-ray or clinical verification.
- A recessed distal tip: Designed to optimize patient safety during placement.
Can this be used for both bolus and continuous feeding?
Yes. The kit includes both a Continuous Feed Extension Set and a Bolus Feed Extension Set (both 12 inches long), allowing you to accommodate different feeding methods as required by the patient’s care plan.
Is this product sterile and ready for clinical use?
Yes, this is a factory-new, sterile device designed for safe medical use in enteral feeding applications.
How is the tube held securely in place?
The tube features an inflatable internal retention balloon. Once the tube is placed, this balloon is inflated to ensure the device remains securely and correctly positioned within the stomach.

This model has a tube size of 18 Fr. and a tube length of 4.5 cm.
