Description
The 2120-12-3.0 (often cataloged as 0120-12-3.0) is a skin-level "button" G-tube designed for patients with a stoma tract depth of 3.0 cm. This length is typically prescribed for patients with a thicker abdominal wall to prevent the "Buried Bumper" syndrome that can occur if a tube is too short and tight.

Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discreet under clothing and reducing the risk of accidental removal compared to long tubes.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A proximal valve that prevents stomach contents from leaking out when the extension set is not connected.
Tapered Distal Tip: Designed for easier, more comfortable insertion into an established stoma.
Radiopaque Stripe: Highly visible under X-ray, allowing clinicians to verify correct placement within the stomach.
Recessed Tip: When the balloon is inflated to the 3 mL volume, the tube's tip is shielded by the balloon to prevent internal gastric irritation.
