Description

The Low Profile Gastrostomy Tube Kit Mic-Key® 14 Fr. 2.3 cm Tube Silicone Sterile is a sterile, low-profile device designed for enteral feeding in patients requiring long-term nutritional support. The MIC-KEY® tube sits flush at skin level, minimizing external protrusion while providing reliable access for nutrition, hydration, and medication administration. Constructed from biocompatible silicone, the tube ensures patient comfort, flexibility, and durability for extended use.

The device features an inflatable internal retention balloon that secures the tube within the stomach, reducing the risk of accidental dislodgement. The tube includes a radiopaque stripe for easy placement verification via imaging. Its recessed distal tip is designed to prevent tissue irritation and facilitate smooth gastric entry. The low-profile design supports discreet placement, improving patient mobility and quality of life.

The MIC-KEY® tube connects to extension sets through a lock-and-key style connection compatible with ENFit® connectors. This system allows secure attachment to continuous or bolus feeding extension sets, ensuring safe and consistent delivery of nutrition and medications. The kit includes all necessary components for initial placement and feeding, including insertion stylet, water-soluble lubricant, continuous and bolus feed extension sets, and enteral syringes.
