Frequently asked questions
Does this kit include everything needed for setup?
Yes, this is a comprehensive, ready-to-use kit. It includes the MIC-KEY feeding tube, an insertion stylet, water-soluble lubricant, both continuous and bolus feed extension sets, two syringes (6 mL and 35 mL), and a gauze pad.
Is the material safe for long-term use?
Absolutely. The tube is constructed from medical-grade silicone, which is designed to be durable, flexible, and minimize skin irritation for patients requiring long-term enteral feeding.
What is the benefit of the low-profile design?
The low-profile design allows the device to sit flush against the skin. This offers significant benefits for patient comfort and discretion, making it much less obtrusive than traditional, longer feeding tubes.
How do I prevent accidental disconnection during feeding?
This system features a secure lock-and-key connection mechanism. It is specifically designed to be compatible with MIC-KEY extension sets, ensuring a reliable fit that minimizes the risk of accidental disconnection.
Does this require specific extension sets?
Yes, this kit is designed for use with MIC-KEY brand extension sets. The specialized lock-and-key connection ensures these sets fit securely and operate safely with the tube.
What is the diameter of this specific tube?
This specific model has a 24 Fr. diameter and a tube length of 1.7 cm.
Can medical professionals confirm placement easily?
Yes, the tube includes a radiopaque stripe. This feature is specifically included to assist medical staff in confirming the tube’s placement through imaging.
How is the tube held securely in place?
The device utilizes an inflatable internal retention balloon. This mechanism provides a secure and stable placement within the stomach once the tube is inserted.
Is this kit suitable for home-care settings?
Yes, it is designed for both clinical and home-care settings. Its unobtrusive profile and comprehensive accessory list make it a standard choice for patients managing enteral feeding at home.
Is the feed port easy to seal when not in use?
Yes, the design includes an integrated, tethered plug/cap for the feeding port. It is secured by a flexible silicone arm, so you don’t have to worry about losing the cap when it is not in use.
