Frequently asked questions
Does this kit include everything needed for initial use?
Yes, this is a comprehensive kit. It includes the MIC-KEY feeding tube, an insertion stylet, two types of extension sets (continuous and bolus), two syringes, lubricant, and a gauze pad for immediate care.
Is this tube comfortable for daily wear?
The MIC-KEY is designed specifically for comfort. Its low-profile silhouette allows it to sit flush against the skin, which significantly reduces the risk of snagging on clothing and provides greater freedom of movement compared to traditional long-tube systems.
How is the tube kept securely in place?
The device features an inflatable internal retention balloon. Once inserted, this balloon is inflated to ensure the tube remains securely and comfortably in place for long-term use.
Can I use different feeding methods with this tube?
Yes. The kit includes both a 12-inch continuous feed extension set and a 12-inch bolus feed extension set, allowing you to switch between feeding styles easily using the secure lock-and-key connection.
How do I connect the extension sets?
The tube features a specialized lock-and-key connection system. This proprietary design ensures a secure, leak-free attachment when you need to connect either the continuous or bolus extension sets.
Is the material safe for long-term use?
Yes, the device is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade silicone. This material is chosen for its safety, biocompatibility, and durability, making it suitable for long-term enteral nutrition.
Does the tube show up on X-rays?
Yes, the tube includes a radiopaque stripe. This feature allows clinicians to easily verify the tube’s position and status using medical imaging.
Why is the tip of the tube recessed?
The recessed distal tip is specifically engineered to minimize tissue irritation inside the stomach, ensuring that the tube remains comfortable even with extended use.
Is this a sterile product?
Yes, the MIC-KEY Gastrostomy Tube Kit is provided sterile to ensure it is ready for clinical or home-care use immediately upon opening.
What is the specific tube size of this kit?
This specific kit comes in the standard 20 Fr. size with a 1.5 cm tube length.
