Frequently asked questions
Does this tube provide enhanced patient comfort?
Yes. The low-profile design is specifically engineered to sit flush against the skin, minimizing the external footprint. This significantly increases patient comfort and ease of movement compared to traditional, bulkier feeding tubes.
Is the connection mechanism secure against accidental disconnection?
Absolutely. This device features the SECUR-LOK extension set mechanism, which provides a stable and reliable connection for both feeding and decompression, effectively reducing the risk of unintended disconnections.
Can this tube perform gastric decompression and jejunal feeding?
Yes, it is designed for dual-functionality. It includes a dedicated gastric decompression port, allowing for simultaneous or independent gastric venting and jejunal feeding.
Is the material used medical-grade and biocompatible?
Yes, the tube is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade silicone, which is biocompatible, flexible, and durable for long-term use.
How do clinicians verify the placement of the tube?
The tube features a radiopaque stripe running its entire length, allowing healthcare professionals to easily verify the tube’s positioning through standard radiographic imaging.
Does the design help prevent clogging during usage?
Yes. The tube is engineered with multiple gastric and jejunal exit ports, which are specifically designed to promote optimal flow and reduce the likelihood of clogging.
Does the kit come with everything needed for initial use?
Yes, it is a comprehensive ready-to-use system. Included in the package are:
- The feeding tube and introducer cannula
- SECUR-LOK extension set

Is the distal tip designed for easy insertion?
Yes, the tube features a tapered distal tip, which is designed to facilitate smoother insertion and improve overall patient tolerance during the procedure.
Is this tube suitable for active patients?
Absolutely. Because of its low-profile exterior that sits flush against the skin, it is an ideal choice for active individuals who require a less intrusive and more discreet medical device.
Is the device sterile for clinical safety?
Yes, all MIC-KEY Transgastric-Jejunal Feeding Tubes are provided sterile to ensure the highest safety standards for clinical and home care applications.
