Description
The 0120-16-3.5 is a "button" style G-tube designed for patients with a stoma tract depth of 3.5 cm. The 16 Fr diameter is the most common size for adults, offering a balance between a comfortable fit and a wide enough lumen to prevent clogging from thicker formulas.

Key Features
Low-Profile Design: Sits flush against the skin, making it discreet and reducing the risk of accidental removal or snagging on clothing.
16 Fr Diameter: Provides a larger channel than the 12 Fr or 14 Fr models, which is ideal for bolus feeding and more efficient medication delivery.
Internal Anti-Reflux Valve: Located at the top of the tube, this valve automatically closes when the extension set is removed to prevent stomach contents from leaking.
Radiopaque Stripe: A built-in line that is visible under X-ray, allowing clinicians to confirm that the tube is correctly positioned in the stomach.
Tapered Distal Tip: Shaped to allow for easier, less traumatic insertion into an established stoma.
