Description
The 2120-18-2.7 (also cataloged as 0120-18-2.7) is a skin-level "button" G-tube. The 18 Fr diameter is the standard "large-bore" option for adults, and the 2.7 cm length is a precise mid-range depth designed for patients who find a 2.5 cm tube too tight but for whom a 3.0 cm tube would have too much "play."

Key Features
Maximum Flow 18 Fr Lumen: Specifically engineered to allow for the easy passage of thicker, blenderized diets and to reduce the risk of clogging from crushed medications compared to smaller 14 Fr or 16 Fr models.
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 against the gastric wall.
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.
