Description
The MIC-KEY Low Profile Gastric-Jejunal Tube, crafted by Avanos, is an advanced medical device designed for patients requiring long-term enteral feeding with simultaneous gastric decompression. Its low-profile, skin-level design offers discretion and comfort, often referred to as a "button" tube due to its subtle appearance.
Key Features
- Dual Functionality: This tube provides separate, clearly labeled ports for both gastric decompression and jejunal feeding, enhancing its versatility.
- Secure Retention: An internal silicone balloon, adjustable with sterile or distilled water, ensures the tube remains securely in place.
- Enhanced Visibility: The tungsten-weighted jejunal portion and radiopaque stripe allow for clear visualization under imaging, aiding in accurate positioning.
Compatibility and Customization
The tube is compatible with detachable ENFit extension sets, featuring SECUR-LOK connectors for secure attachment. The jejunal portion is trimmable, allowing for precise positioning, while the larger lumen design reduces blockages and improves flow.
Material and Design
Constructed from medical-grade silicone, the tube includes anti-reflux valves and a tapered distal tip for comfort and ease of use. Its discreet design allows it to be comfortably hidden under clothing.
