Description
The MIC-KEY Low Profile Jejunal Tube with ENFit Extension Sets is a specialized medical device designed to support enteral feeding and gastric decompression in both pediatric and adult patients. Its low-profile, button-style design ensures discretion and comfort, allowing it to sit close to the skin and remain easily concealable under clothing.
Key Features
-
Multiple Ports: The device features clearly marked jejunal and gastric ports, enabling direct feeding into the small intestine and providing options for gastric drainage or venting. An additional balloon port allows for secure placement using a Luer-slip syringe.
-
Retention Balloon: Made from medical-grade silicone, the internal retention balloon secures the tube in place. It is recommended to fill the balloon with sterile or distilled water, with fill volumes tailored to pediatric and adult sizes.
-
Weighted Jejunal Portion: The jejunal portion is weighted and radiopaque, helping maintain position and resist kinking. A radiopaque stripe enhances visibility under imaging, while the tapered distal tip allows for non-traumatic insertion and length adjustment.
