How does the MiniONE® device work?

The MiniONE® is a low profile gastrostomy tube, also known as a G-Tube.
A G-Tube, like the MiniONE®, is recommended for people who cannot eat by mouth or cannot eat enough to grow and develop as expected.
The G-Tube is placed through the belly, or abdominal wall, in order to deliver nutrition (food) directly into the stomach. Liquid nutrition, called formula, flows through the device into your belly!
The phrase “low profile” refers to the external portion of the device, often called the bolster, being very flat or flush against the skin. Low profile G-Tubes, like the MiniONE®, are sometimes called a button.
