Balloon inside the stomach has been inflated to hold the tube in place. that has been filled with water when the tube was inserted. The balloon is inflated and deflated by inserting a luer slip syringe into the balloon insufflation port (balloon valve). It is important to never attempt to feed through the balloon insufflation port. It is also important to keep this port clean.

A MIC-KEY low-profile gastrostomy feeding tube (MIC-KEY G-tube) has been inserted into your stomach through the abdominal wall. There is an inflatable balloon at one end and an external base or external retention disc at the other. This tube allows the intake of food and water that your body requires. Your medical professional has measured your stoma length including the optimal diameter (French size or Charrire) to ensure that you have the right size MIC-KEY G-tube.
