Description
The 2120-18-2.0 (also cataloged as 0120-18-2.0) is a skin-level "button" G-tube. The 18 Fr diameter is the preferred choice for adults who require higher flow rates for viscous formulas or blenderized diets.

Key Features
High-Flow Large-Bore Lumen: The 18 Fr diameter provides superior flow characteristics, making it significantly easier to flush and less prone to clogging from crushed medications compared to 14 Fr or 16 Fr tubes.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin for maximum discretion and to prevent the tube from being snagged on clothing or belts.
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.
