Description
A low-profile, skin-level button enteral access device, the MIC-KEY Low-Profile Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube delivers nutrition directly to the small intestine (distal duodenum/proximal jejunum). It is intended for patients who require jejunal feeding and cannot tolerate gastric feeding due to impaired gastric emptying, severe gastroesophageal reflux, gastric outlet obstruction, aspiration risk, or following esophagectomy/gastrectomy. Prescription use only (Rx).
