- Water-soluble lubricant
- Continuous and bolus feed extension sets

- Gauze pad
Is this tube comfortable for long-term wear?
Yes, the MIC-KEY is specifically designed for long-term enteral nutrition. Its low-profile, flush-to-skin design significantly reduces protrusion, making it much more comfortable for daily movement and activities compared to traditional, long feeding tubes.

The device utilizes a specialized lock-and-key style connection system. This mechanism creates a secure, reliable interface with the MIC-KEY extension sets, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection.
