Description
The 2120-18-1.7 (also cataloged as 0120-18-1.7) is a skin-level "button" G-tube. The 18 Fr diameter is the standard "large-bore" option for adults, while the 1.7 cm length is a specific mid-range depth used when a 1.5 cm tube is slightly too snug against the skin.

Key Features
Large-Bore 18 Fr Lumen: Specifically designed to allow for the easy passage of thicker, blenderized diets and to reduce the risk of clogging from crushed medications.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the abdomen, offering a discreet appearance and significantly reducing the risk of the tube being snagged or accidentally pulled out.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A proximal valve that automatically closes to prevent the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line visible under X-ray, allowing clinicians to verify the tube is seated correctly in the stomach.
Recessed Tip: At the 5 mL inflation level, the distal tip is tucked inside the balloon to prevent the silicone from rubbing against the stomach lining.
