MIC Gastro-Enteric Feeding Tube Kit is designed to enable simultaneous jejunal feeding and gastric decompression, supporting patients who require advanced enteral nutrition management. This specialized tube features multiple feeding exit holes to promote optimal flow and help reduce the risk of clogging. It includes clearly marked gastric and jejunal ports for easy identification and accurate medication or formula delivery. Inserted surgically through the abdominal wall, the tube delivers nutrition directly into the small intestine while also allowing the removal of excess gas or secretions from the stomach. Your healthcare provider will select the appropriate tube and provide detailed care instructions to ensure safe use and long-term tube performance.
