Description

The AMT MiniONE Balloon Button is a low-profile balloon gastrostomy (G‑tube) designed for enteral feeding via a percutaneous stoma into the stomach. Manufactured by Applied Medical Technology (AMT) in the USA, it sits flush against the skin with a soft, low-profile external bolster to support comfort and hygiene. The specified variant is 16 Fr diameter with a stated 5.5 cm stoma length (see Sizing and Fit Guidance).

Key Features

• Low-profile button that lies discreetly under clothing.
• Soft, flexible, medical‑grade silicone construction to support comfort and ease cleaning around the site.
• Tapered transition from shaft to soft, low-profile external bolster to help improve the external seal and reduce skin irritation or stoma trauma.
• Durable anti-reflux valve; fill port angled away from the body to help minimize skin contact during use.

• Balloon inflation/deflation allows placement and replacement in clinical or trained home-care settings, per clinician direction.
