Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tubes and MIC Gastrostomy Feeding Tubes are essential medical devices used to provide direct, long-term nutritional support for individuals who are unable to consume food or fluids orally due to medical conditions such as stroke, neurological disorders, cancer, or gastrointestinal disease.
PEG tubes are inserted endoscopically through the abdominal wall into the stomach, offering a secure, discreet, and reliable method for delivering nutrition, fluids, and medications. Their low-profile design improves comfort and mobility, while reducing the risk of aspiration and accidental dislodgement.
The MIC and MIC-KEY range of gastrostomy tubes, such as the MIC Balloon Bolus G-Tube and low-profile balloon buttons, are popular alternatives to PEG devices once the stoma tract is well-established. These tubes use an internal retention balloon to hold the tube in place and come in various sizes to accommodate pediatric and adult patients. ENFit™-compatible connectors ensure safe, standardized connections across all enteral systems.
Many MIC G-tube kits also include convenient accessories such as:
-
Radiopaque stripes for imaging visibility
-
Lubricant and syringes for placement
-
Raised or adjustable skin discs for stoma care
-
Y-port or single-port feeding options
Both PEG and MIC feeding tubes are supported by products like the Avanos Introducer Kit for safe placement, and extension sets to connect to feeding pumps or syringes.
These feeding systems play a vital role in:
-
Maintaining hydration and caloric intake
-
Delivering medications directly into the stomach
-
Supporting recovery and improving patient outcomes
-
Providing peace of mind for caregivers and clinicians alike
