Description

The MIC-KEY Low Profile Gastric-Jejunal Tube is a specialized medical device designed for patients requiring simultaneous jejunal feeding and gastric decompression. Suitable for both pediatric and adult patients, it provides a discreet and effective solution for those unable to tolerate oral feeding or at risk of aspiration.

Key Features

• Low-Profile Design: The "button" style, skin-level design minimizes the risk of accidental removal and allows for discretion, making it less conspicuous under clothing.
• Multiple Ports: Equipped with separate, clearly marked ports for jejunal feeding and gastric decompression, enhancing functionality and ease of use.
• Weighted Jejunal Portion: Includes tungsten weighting and a radiopaque stripe for improved positioning and visibility under radiographic imaging.
• Retention Balloon: A water-filled inflatable balloon secures the tube within the stomach, complemented by an external bolster that rests above the skin.

Construction and Compatibility

• Material: Made from latex-free, medical-grade silicone, ensuring safety and compatibility with MIC-KEY extension sets using ENFit connectors.
• One-Way Valves: Each port features one-way valves activated by attaching a MIC-KEY Extension Set, which can be detached when not in use.
• SECUR-LOK Connections: Provides secure connections with standard MIC-KEY extension sets, requiring only a single type of extension set for all sizes.

Available Sizes

• French Sizes: Available in 14Fr, 16Fr, 18Fr, and 22Fr with stoma lengths ranging from 1.0 cm to 7.0 cm.
• Jejunal Lengths: Options include 15 cm, 22 cm, 30 cm, and 45 cm.
• Balloon Fill Volumes: Varies by size, suitable for different patient needs.

Kit Contents

The kit may include:

• MIC-KEY GJ-tube
• Introducer cannula
• Continuous and bolus feed extension sets

Placement and Maintenance

Intended for percutaneous placement under endoscopic, radiologic, or laparoscopic guidance. Daily care involves cleaning the stoma site and external tube, checking balloon volume, and flushing the tube to prevent blockages. Extension sets should be replaced periodically, and the device should not be reused or resterilized.

Cautions

• Prescription Use Only: The device requires professional medical handling for placement and maintenance.
• Monitor for Complications: Regular monitoring for signs of infection or tube damage is essential.
