Description
he 2120-16-3.0 (also cataloged as 0120-16-3.0) is a skin-level "button" G-tube. The 16 Fr diameter is the most versatile size for adult enteral nutrition, and the 3.0 cm length is designed to accommodate a thicker abdominal wall to ensure the tube does not press too tightly against the skin.

Key Features
High-Flow 16 Fr Lumen: The larger internal diameter accommodates a wide variety of formulas and is easier to flush, significantly reducing the frequency of clogs compared to smaller tubes.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin for maximum discretion and to prevent the tube from being pulled or snagged during daily activities.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A proximal valve that automatically closes to prevent the leakage of gastric contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Tapered Distal Tip: Engineered for smooth, atraumatic insertion into an established stoma tract.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line 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.
