Applied Medical Technologies Mini One Capsule Non-Balloon G-Tube
The Applied Medical Technologies Mini One Capsule Non-Balloon G-Tube offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional balloon gastrostomy tubes. Available in 14 French size with your choice of 2.5 cm or 3.0 cm length, this innovative device eliminates balloon failure concerns while providing enhanced patient comfort and reliability.
Advanced Non-Balloon Design
Unlike conventional balloon buttons that can fail over time, the Mini One Capsule features a durable non-balloon design that significantly reduces replacement frequency. This innovative approach provides consistent, reliable performance for patients who require long-term enteral feeding solutions.
Enhanced Patient Comfort
The capsule design dramatically reduces pain during insertion, making the procedure more comfortable for patients. The button shaft maintains a narrow profile similar to balloon buttons, while the self-lubricating capsule ensures smooth, easy insertion every time.
Key Benefits and Features
- No balloon to fail - replacements occur less frequently
- Capsule design reduces pain during insertion
- Self-lubricating for easy insertion
- Easy-to-use pull-away tether for secure deployment
- Smaller internal bolster reduces pylorus blockage risk
- Internal dome design provides better feeding and venting
Ideal for Specific Patient Needs
This non-balloon G-tube is particularly beneficial for patients who don't tolerate traditional balloon buttons well. The internal bolster is smaller than a balloon, making it less likely to block the pylorus while still providing secure internal retention.
Simple Removal Process
When removal is necessary, the included removal tool distends the internal bolster to a smaller profile, allowing for smooth, comfortable extraction without compromising patient comfort or safety.
Each Applied Medical Technologies Mini One Capsule Non-Balloon G-Tube is sold individually and available in two convenient lengths (2.5 cm and 3.0 cm) to accommodate different patient anatomies and clinical requirements.
