Description

The 22Fr MIC-KEY Low Profile Gastric-Jejunal Tube is an advanced medical device designed for patients requiring simultaneous gastric decompression and jejunal feeding. Its low-profile, skin-level design offers discretion and comfort, making it particularly suitable for pediatric patients or those who prefer a less conspicuous feeding solution.

Key Features

• Dual Access Ports: The device includes a jejunal port for feeding and medication administration directly into the small intestine, and a gastric port for decompression and potential medication delivery into the stomach. A balloon port allows for secure placement through an internal inflatable silicone retention balloon.

• Secure and Comfortable Fit: The external bolster rests just above the skin, minimizing the risk of accidental dislodgement and enhancing patient comfort.

• Extension Set Compatibility: The tube requires MIC-KEY extension sets, which are detachable and lock in place, providing flexibility for feeding, medication, and venting needs.

Design and Materials

• Valved Ports: Each port features a one-way valve to prevent reflux, enhancing safety and hygiene.

• Radiopaque Stripe and Tungsten Weighting: These features ensure visibility under imaging for accurate placement and monitoring.

• Tapered Distal Tip: Facilitates easy insertion with minimal trauma.

• Medical-Grade Silicone: The construction ensures durability and patient safety, with the device supplied sterile through gamma sterilization.
