Description

The AMT MiniONE® Balloon Button is an innovative low-profile gastrostomy tube (G-tube) designed to provide seamless nutritional support for both children and adults. Its discreet design ensures minimal disruption to daily life while offering exceptional comfort and ease of use.

Key Features

• Internal Retention Balloon: The unique apple-shaped design of the internal retention balloon ensures secure placement. It inflates and deflates easily, allowing for straightforward insertion and removal in both clinical and home-care settings. The balloon expands horizontally, covering more surface area at the gastrostomy site to reduce leaks and enhance the seal at the gastric surface.

• External Bolster: With a profile 37% lower than other G-tubes, the external bolster is less obtrusive and can be easily concealed under clothing. Its soft, flexible material is easy to clean and minimizes trauma to the stoma site. The tapered transition from the shaft to the bolster provides a secure fit and improved seal outside the stomach.

• Material: Constructed from medical-grade silicone, the device is designed to reduce skin irritation and enhance patient comfort.

Additional Features

• Glow-in-the-Dark: A glow-in-the-dark feature facilitates easier nighttime use.
• Anti-Reflux Valve: Equipped with a durable anti-reflux valve for maximum protection.
• Adjustable Balloon: Allows for an individualized fit.

Compatibility and Connection

• Balloon Fill Valve: Compatible with Luer (slip tip) and Luer Lock syringes for 12-14F devices, and slip tip syringes for 16-24F devices.
• ENFit Connection System: Provides secure and standardized enteral feeding connections.

Sizes and Lengths

Available in sizes 12F, 14F, 16F, 18F, 20F, and 24F, with lengths ranging from 0.8 cm to 10.0 cm, varying by size.

Design Benefits

The AMT MiniONE® Balloon Button is smaller and softer than other brands, offering greater comfort and less obtrusiveness. It occupies less space inside the stomach, making it ideal for users with sensory issues or those who prefer a less intrusive device. This design is particularly beneficial for patients requiring continuous feeding while maintaining an active lifestyle, whether in clinical or home-care environments.
