Medical Description
The 0210-16 is one of the most common "standard" G-tubes used globally. A 16 French diameter is suitable for a wide range of patients, from older children to adults. It is the clinical choice for patients with a functional gastrointestinal tract who are unable to consume enough nutrition orally due to conditions such as neurological disorders (e.g., stroke, ALS), esophageal obstructions, or trauma.

Key Features
High-Clarity Silicone: The entire tube is constructed from biocompatible silicone, which is softer and more flexible than PVC, enhancing patient comfort and reducing the risk of skin irritation.
SECUR-LOK Retention Ring:* This external bolster is a signature feature that slides down to the skin to prevent the tube from migrating into the stomach. It is designed to sit slightly elevated to allow air to circulate around the stoma.
Tapered Distal Tip: The tip of the tube is tapered to allow for a smoother, less traumatic insertion through the stoma tract.
Recessed Distal Tip: When the balloon is inflated, the tip is designed to be recessed, which helps prevent the tube from irritating the gastric wall.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line runs the length of the tube to allow for easy visualization and position verification under X-ray.
Dual-Port Hub: The head of the tube features a main feeding port and a separate port for medication, both compatible with catheter-tip syringes.
