Description
The 2120-18-2.3 (also cataloged as 0120-18-2.3) is a skin-level "button" G-tube. The 18 Fr diameter is a "large-bore" option, and the 2.3 cm length is a specific depth designed to provide a comfortable fit for patients whose stoma tracts are slightly deeper than the standard adult average.

Key Features
Large-Bore 18 Fr Lumen: Specifically engineered for high-flow requirements. This wider diameter is ideal for the delivery of thicker formulas and reduces the risk of clogging during medication administration.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin for a discreet appearance, minimizing the profile under clothing and reducing the chance of accidental pulling.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: A proximal valve that automatically closes when the extension set is disconnected, preventing gastric contents from leaking out.
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 confirm the tube is properly seated against the stomach wall.
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.
