Description
The 2120-16-1.2 (also cataloged as 0120-16-1.2) is a skin-level "button" G-tube. The 16 Fr diameter is a standard choice for adults and older children to ensure consistent flow, and the 1.2 cm length is a very common size for patients with a lean to average abdominal wall.

Key Features
Optimal Flow: The 16 Fr diameter is significantly easier to flush and less likely to clog with medication than smaller French sizes.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin for a discreet appearance and to minimize the risk of the tube being snagged on clothing.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A proximal valve that automatically closes to prevent stomach contents from leaking out when the extension set is not in use.
Tapered Distal Tip: Engineered for smooth, atraumatic insertion into an established stoma tract.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in longitudinal stripe that is visible under X-ray, allowing for easy verification of the tube's position.
Recessed Tip: At the 5 mL inflation level, the distal tip is tucked inside the balloon to protect the stomach lining from irritation.
