MIC-KEY Low Profile Gastrostomy Feeding Tube Kit 12 FR is specifically designed for patients who require nutrition support directly into the stomach, bypassing the oral route. Its low-profile design means it sits flat against the skin to minimize visibility and improve comfort. This design reduces the risk of accidental dislodgment and makes it easier to dress and move without interference. The "12FR" refers to the French size, which indicates the diameter of the tube. It is relatively small and suitable for patients with a narrower stoma or those who prefer a more discreet tube.

Frequently Bought Together


Indications

They are indicated for use in patients who require enteral feeding, are unable to tolerate oral feeding, require gastric decompression and/or medication delivery directly into either the stomach, distal to the stomach, distal duodenum, or proximal jejunum (tube types vary from G, J, TJ/ GJ & GE depending on what medical professional has prescribed/placed).


How to use Mic Key Low Profile G Tube?

  1. 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. Push the extension set down firmly and “lock” it into place by turning the connector CLOCKWISE until you feel a slight resistance (approximately three-quarters turn).
    Note - Do not turn the connector past the stop point. It is important to keep the extension set “locked” into place during feeding.
MIC Key G Enteral Feeding Tube
  1. Flush - Next, flush your MIC-KEY G Extension Set with water. Use either extension set to flush.
  2. Begin - Now begin enteral feeding.
    • For bolus feeding - Attach a bolus syringe filled with your preferred nutrition
    • For continuous feeding- Attach a feeding set to a feeding pump with your preferred nutrition in the bag

How to Remove Extension Set From MIC Tube?

  • Disconnect the extension set from the MIC KEY G tube port by rotating it COUNTER-CLOCKWISE until the black line on the feeding port lines up with the black line on the extension set
  • Gently detach the extension set and cap the MIC-KEY G Feeding Tube securely with the attached feeding port tube cover
    Cautions -
    • It is recommended to connect only the MIC-KEY Extension Set to the MIC-KEY G Feeding Tube
    • To avoid damage, do not insert medication or nutrition directly into the feeding port valve without the use of an extension set
    • Flush the Mickey feeding tube and extension sets before and after every use to prevent clogging

Cleaning Instructions

  • Wash hands before touching the G-tube
  • The MIC-KEY low-profile feeding tube and the skin around and under the tube should be cleaned once a day. Cleaning can be done with water, mild soap, tissues, or cotton-tip applicators.
  • Keep the tube and the skin around the tube (stoma) clean and dry
  • Rotate the MIC-KEY gastrostomy tube in a full circle during the daily cleaning. Make sure not to pull or manipulate the tube more than necessary.

Note: The extension set should be replaced at least once every two weeks for better functionality and hygiene.

Contraindications

Contraindications for placement of a feeding tube include but are not limited to ascites, colonic interposition, portal hypertension, peritonitis, and morbid obesity.


FAQs

  1. What is a low-profile G-tube?

    A feeding tube provides fluids, nutrition, and medications to the small intestine. It sits close to the skin and is discreet.

  2. What is the difference between a PEG tube and a MIC-KEY gastrostomy button?

    The products perform the same function, which is enteral feeding. The MIC-KEY Low-Profile G-Tube sits unobtrusively at the level of the skin, whereas a PEG tube hangs loosely from the patient's abdomen.

  3. How often should the MIC-KEY be replaced?

    It is recommended that the MIC-KEY gastrostomy feeding tube be replaced at least once every three months.

  4. Does rotating the feeding tube hurt?

    No. Rotating the tube should not hurt. If it does, contact a healthcare professional.
