Description
The 2120-16-4.5 (also cataloged as 0120-16-4.5) is a skin-level "button" G-tube. While the 16 Fr diameter is standard for many adults, the 4.5 cm stoma length is an extended size. It is typically required for patients with a thicker abdominal wall or those who have experienced significant localized swelling or weight gain.

Key Features
Extended Stem Length: Provides a secure fit for deep stomas, ensuring the internal balloon rests against the stomach wall without the external bolster being too tight against the skin.
16 Fr Diameter: Offers excellent flow for standard enteral formulas and reduces the risk of clogging when compared to smaller French sizes.
Low-Profile Design: Despite the longer length, the external portion sits flush against the skin, allowing for discretion under clothing.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A one-way valve at the proximal end prevents gastric leakage when the extension set is not in use.
Tapered Distal Tip: Shaped for smooth, atraumatic insertion through the stoma tract.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in marker that shows up clearly on X-rays to verify correct placement.
