Description

The MIC-KEY Low Profile Gastric-Jejunal Tube is a specialized medical device designed to meet the needs of both pediatric and adult patients requiring simultaneous jejunal feeding and gastric decompression. Its innovative low-profile, skin-level "button" design offers enhanced comfort and discretion, making it a preferred choice for long-term enteral feeding.

Key Features

• Dual Functionality: The tube provides separate, clearly marked ports for effective jejunal feeding and gastric decompression, allowing for seamless management of nutritional and medical needs.
• Secure Placement: Equipped with a tungsten-weighted jejunal portion and a radiopaque stripe, the tube ensures secure positioning and easy visualization under imaging.
• Internal Retention Balloon: The inflatable balloon, adjustable with sterile or distilled water, secures the tube through the gastric stoma, complemented by a low-profile external bolster that rests gently above the skin.
• Anti-Reflux Valves: Located on the external base, these valves enhance safety by preventing reflux.
• SECUR-LOK Connector Mechanism: This feature provides a reliable connection with ENFit or Catheter Tip extension sets, which lock into place with a simple clockwise turn and can be detached for added comfort.
