Explanation

A "Mic-key tubeless" refers to a specific type of feeding tube used in medical situations. It's a small, flexible tube that's inserted through the skin into the stomach to provide nutrition for individuals who can't eat normally. Unlike traditional feeding tubes, the Mic-key tubeless design is less noticeable because it sits flat against the skin, making it more comfortable and discreet. It's called "tubeless" because it doesn't have a long tube hanging outside the body.
