The 8140‑14‑1.7 MIC‑KEY low-profile G‑tube extension set offers a discreet, patient‑friendly design for individuals requiring long-term gastrostomy access. Because the external component sits almost flush with the skin (1.7 cm stoma length), it reduces snagging and is easier to conceal under clothing. The use of flexible silicone for the tube body enhances patient comfort and reduces irritation at the stoma site.

Internally, the device includes a recessed distal tip, which is designed not to protrude into the gastric lumen excessively, thereby reducing the risk of mucosal trauma or irritation. The radiopaque stripe along the tube enables clinicians to confirm placement radiographically, which is a key safety measure. The silicone internal retention balloon secures the tube in the stomach, while the external “lock‑and‑key” extension set interface ensures that feed and medication lines connect reliably and with minimal leakage risk using ENFit connectors.

From a usability standpoint, the kit includes both a continuous feed extension and a bolus feed extension (each ~12 inches), along with syringes and accessories for medication and feeding. The ENFit connector system aligns with modern enteral feeding standards, reducing misconnections. Sterility, latex-free construction, and ease of replacement support safe, hygienic long-term use. Clinically, this tube is chosen when a mid-sized 14 Fr diameter is appropriate for the patient’s nutritional needs and when a low-profile, skin‑level tube is preferred for comfort and daily life convenience.
