Living with a feeding tube is probably not something your patients want to do. However, if they are unable to eat and drink normally, a feeding tube may be the best option for them.
Extension sets are used in conjunction with MIC-KEY low profile feeding tubes to facilitate the delivery of nourishment, fluids, and medicines. They may also be used to ventilate. One end will be hooked to your tube’s feeding port, while the other will be attached to your feeding source as part of outstanding patient care.
What is a MIC Key Extension Set?
Extension sets work with MIC-KEY low-profile feeding tubes to help administer nutrition, fluids, and medicines. They may also be used to ventilate.
One end will be hooked to your tube’s feeding port, and the other to your feeding source (pump, syringe, or feeding set).
These extension sets come in multiple lengths. Avanos provides a comprehensive range of innovative, high-quality enteral feeding tubes and accessories specifically intended to administer nourishment and medicine to pediatric and adult patients.

Choosing the right MIC-KEY extension set is necessary, as all enteral feed, medication, and fluids must be
The MIC-KEY continuous feed extension set with ENFit connectors is intended for patients who require low-profile gastrostomy, jejunal, or gastric-jejunal feeding tubes. It is designed to work with the MIC-KEY low-profile gastrostomy, jejunal, and gastric-jejunal feeding tubes.
When to Change MIC Key Extension Set
The Avanos MIC Key extension set is used for continuous feeding.
To connect the extension set, match the black line on the patient end with the feeding port of the tube.
Insert the “nose” of the SECUR-LOK connection into the feeding port and spin it a quarter turn clockwise.
Screw the feeding set’s ENFit connection into the extension set’s feeding port. The extension set “swivels” with movement, allowing you to alter positions while feeding.
After each feeding, wash the extension set with warm, soapy water and thoroughly rinse.
Prompt flushing and washing prevents the formula from drying and accumulating. Replace the MIC-KEY extension sets every two weeks for hygiene and functionality.
Conclusion
The requirement for enteral feeding can be emotionally challenging, limiting patients’ lifestyle options.
Traditional feeding tubes may be difficult to hide, visible through clothes, and prone to snagging and removal.
