Frequently asked questions
Does this tube provide enhanced patient comfort?
Yes, the MIC-Key Low Profile Gastrostomy Tube is specifically engineered for comfort. Its low-profile design sits flush against the skin, minimizing protrusion and making it an excellent, discreet choice for patients engaged in daily activities.
How does the tube stay securely in place?
The device features an inflatable internal retention balloon. Once placed, this balloon acts as a stable anchor within the stomach to ensure the tube remains securely in position.
Is there a mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections?
Absolutely. The tube utilizes a specialized lock-and-key connection system specifically designed for MIC-KEY extension sets. This mechanism ensures a secure, reliable attachment during the delivery of nutrition.
Is the material safe for long-term use?
Yes, the tube is constructed from high-quality medical-grade silicone. This material is chosen for its biocompatibility, flexibility, and durability for long-term nutritional support.
Can medical professionals verify the tube placement easily?
Yes. The device includes a radiopaque stripe integrated into the material, which allows for clear visibility and verification of proper placement under medical imaging.
Does the kit include everything needed for setup?
Yes, it is a comprehensive kit designed for immediate use. It includes:
- Insertion stylet
- Water-soluble lubricant
- Continuous and bolus feed extension sets
- 6 mL and 35 mL syringes
- Gauze pads
Is the distal tip designed to prevent tissue trauma?
Yes, the feeding tube features a recessed distal tip design, which is specifically engineered to minimize trauma during both the initial placement and ongoing use.
Are the extension sets included in the kit?
Yes, the kit provides two types of 12-inch extension sets to accommodate different feeding needs:
- Continuous Feed Extension Set

Is this a sterile medical device?
Yes, the MIC-Key Gastrostomy Tube Kit is provided sterile to ensure it meets clinical standards for patient safety.
