Description
The MIC-KEY* J Feeding Tube is indicated for patients requiring jejunal feeding only, but who want an inconspicuous external segment. This unit comes with an external bolster designed like the widely prescribed MIC-KEY* gastrostomy tube. Narrow your options by choosing different outer diameters or stoma lengths. The feeding tube is intended exclusively for single-use.
The MIC* Jejunal (J) Feeding Tube with ENFit® connector allows for delivery of enteral nutrition and medication via an access port labeled 'Jejunal' into the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum.

or as replacement to an existing feeding tube using an established stoma tract.
