How to Change the Mic-Key Button

How to Change the Mic-Key Button - This is much easier than it sounds! The Mic-Key button is a low profile g tube that is great for active patients. The first time it popped out we were scared and raced to the ER! Now we always have a backup and change it our self.
The stomach and the feeding tube area are not a sterile environment. It's important to wash your hands, but you don't need to act like you are doing surgery! The Mic-Key button is really durable, but we still change it approximately every six months.
