Description

The AMT MiniONe Balloon Button is a low-profile gastrostomy tube designed for effective enteral feeding and medication administration. Suitable for both adults and children, it provides direct access to the stomach for those unable to ingest food orally, making it ideal for use in both clinical and home-care settings.

Key Features

• Discreet Design: With a significantly lower profile compared to standard models, it remains comfortable and unobtrusive under clothing.
• Unique Balloon Shape: The apple-shaped internal retention balloon offers a superior gastric seal, minimizing leakage.
• Glow Green™ Technology: Enhances nighttime visibility with glow-in-the-dark feed ports and connectors.

Compatibility and Sizes

Available in French sizes ranging from 12F to 24F, the device offers various stoma lengths and connector types, including Legacy and ENFit® connectors. It supports multiple feeding methods such as continuous, bolus, and gravity drip feeding, and is compatible with a wide range of extension sets and feed sets from brands like AMT, Mic-key®, and Halyard®.

Maintenance and Care

The device requires regular maintenance, including daily cleaning of the stoma site and checking the balloon's water fill. It should be rotated daily and measured for optimal fit using the AMT Balloon Stoma Measuring Device. The use of water-soluble lubricants is recommended during placement or removal, and the device allows for bathing and swimming when the safety plug is in place.

Additional Features

• Anti-Reflux Valve: Prevents leakage through the feeding port.
• Secure Connections: Locking feed sets reduce accidental disconnections.
• Medical-Grade Silicone: Ensures comfort and easy cleaning.

Accessories and Kits

Kits may include various accessories such as syringes for balloon inflation, feed sets, and lubricants. These are designed to enhance the functionality and ease of use of the device.

Special Instructions

Proper balloon inflation and positioning are crucial to prevent leakage. Liquid medications should be diluted and flushed with water to avoid clogging. For pediatric use, frequent remeasurement of stoma length is advised, and replacement should follow healthcare provider recommendations.

Manufactured in the USA, the AMT MiniONe Balloon Button is engineered to minimize common issues such as leaks and granulation tissue, providing a reliable and comfortable solution for enteral feeding needs.
