Description
The 2120-16-1.0 (also cataloged as 0120-16-1.0) is a skin-level "button" G-tube. The 16 Fr diameter is often chosen to improve flow rates and decrease clogging, while the 1.0 cm length is designed for patients with a relatively thin abdominal wall.

Key Features
16 Fr Lumen: Provides a larger internal opening than the 12 Fr or 14 Fr models, making it ideal for thicker blenderized diets or more frequent medication administration.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the abdomen, offering a discreet profile that is easily hidden under clothing and less likely to be snagged.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A proximal valve that prevents the backflow of stomach contents or formula when the extension set is disconnected.
Tapered Distal Tip: Designed for smooth, atraumatic insertion into an established stoma tract.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line that is visible under X-ray, allowing clinicians to confirm the tube is seated correctly in the stomach.
Recessed Tip: When the balloon is inflated to the 5 mL volume, the distal tip is shielded by the balloon to prevent internal gastric irritation.
