Description
The 0120-16-3.0 (also known by the 2120- series prefix) is a "button" style G-tube. The 16 Fr diameter is a very common size for adults and older children, providing a larger internal lumen for easier flow of thicker formulas and medications compared to the 12 Fr models.

Stoma Length (Depth): 3.0 cm
Balloon Volume: 5 mL (Standard fill with sterile water; maximum capacity is 10 mL)

Key Features
Wider Diameter (16 Fr): Offers improved flow rates and is less likely to clog when using viscous formulas or crushed medications compared to smaller 12 Fr tubes.
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin to minimize visibility and reduce the risk of the tube being snagged or pulled.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: Prevents the backflow of stomach contents when the extension set is disconnected.
Radiopaque Stripe: Built into the tube to allow for clear visualization under X-ray for placement verification.
Tapered Distal Tip: Designed for smooth, atraumatic insertion into the stoma tract.
Recessed Tip: When the balloon is inflated to the 5 mL volume, the tube tip is shielded to prevent internal gastric irritation.
