MIC-KEY Low-Profile Gastrostomy Feeding Tube Kit Features
- Low-Profile Design: This means it sits flush against the skin to minimize visibility and discomfort. This design allows for greater mobility and improved quality of life for the patient
- Silicone Construction: Silicone is soft, flexible, and biocompatible, providing comfort during insertion and reducing the risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions
- Integrated Bolster: An integrated balloon or bolster helps secure the tube in place within the stomach. This reduces the risk of accidental dislodgement and improves overall stability
- Tapered Distal Tip: The distal (end) tip of the feeding tube is tapered, which assists in ease of insertion and promotes patient comfort during placement
- Closed-End Design: It has a closed-end design, meaning it does not have an open port or connector when not in use. This helps maintain cleanliness and reduces the risk of contamination
- Medication Delivery: The feeding tube allows for the administration of medications directly into the stomach, providing a convenient and efficient method of medication delivery
- Easy Cleaning and Maintenance: The feeding tube is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. It can be flushed and cleaned according to healthcare provider instructions, promoting hygiene and preventing blockages or clogs

How to use Mic Key G Tube?
- Attach – To start, attach the MIC-KEY G Extension Set to the MIC-KEY G feeding port by matching the black lines on the extension set and feeding port.
