Description

The 2120-16-2.7 (also cataloged as 0120-16-2.7) is a skin-level "button" G-tube. The 16 Fr diameter is a standard size for adult patients, and the 2.7 cm length is a specific "mid-range" depth. It is often used for patients who find the 2.5 cm length too tight against the skin, but for whom a 3.0 cm length would be too loose.

Specifications

  • Brand: MIC-KEY* (Avanos Medical)

  • French Size (Diameter): 16 Fr

  • Stoma Length (Depth): 2.7 cm

  • Balloon Volume: 5 mL (Recommended fill with sterile water; maximum 10 mL)

  • Material: Medical-grade, high-clarity silicone

  • HCPCS Code: B4088

  • Connector Type: SECUR-LOK* (Lock-and-key style)

Key Features

  • High-Flow 16 Fr Lumen: This diameter provides a generous opening that is less likely to clog with crushed medications or thicker formulas compared to 12 Fr or 14 Fr tubes.

  • Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin for a discreet profile, significantly reducing the risk of the tube being snagged or accidentally pulled out.

  • Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A proximal valve that prevents the leakage of stomach contents or formula when the extension set is not attached.

  • Tapered Distal Tip: Designed for smooth, atraumatic insertion into an established stoma tract.

  • Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in marker that is visible under X-ray, allowing clinicians to verify 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.
