Description

The MIC-KEY Low Profile Jejunal Tube, developed by Avanos Medical, is a specialized medical device designed for patients requiring direct jejunal feeding. Its low-profile, button-style design offers comfort and discretion, making it suitable for both pediatric and adult patients with specific medical needs such as intestinal motility disorders or severe gastroesophageal reflux.

Key Features

  • Multiple Ports: The device features clearly marked jejunal and gastric ports, allowing for effective feeding and gastric decompression or drainage. An additional balloon port facilitates the inflation and deflation of the internal retention balloon.

  • Radiopaque Design: The weighted, radiopaque jejunal portion and stripe enhance visibility under imaging, ensuring accurate placement and reducing the risk of mispositioning.

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Constructed from medical-grade silicone, the tube provides biocompatibility and flexibility, while the tapered distal tip aids in non-traumatic insertion.

Secure Placement

The internal retention balloon, along with an external bolster or disc, secures the tube in place, preventing migration. Some models include the SECUR-LOK extension set connector mechanism, offering detachable extension sets with ENFit or catheter tips for feeding and medication administration.

Specifications

Available in various sizes, the tube offers diameters ranging from 14Fr to 22Fr and stoma lengths from 1.0 cm to 7.0 cm. Jejunal lengths vary from 15 cm to 45 cm, with balloon fill volumes tailored for pediatric and adult use.

Placement and Maintenance

Placement is typically performed percutaneously through a gastric stoma under medical guidance. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the tube and stoma site, checking balloon water volume, and flushing the tube with appropriate syringes to manage blockages. The tube should not be rotated post-placement to avoid complications.
