Order Info MiniONE® Balloon Button Anatomy
A gastrostomy tube, also known as a G-tube, is used to deliver nutrition (food) directly into the stomach. The device is placed through the belly, or abdominal wall, and into the stomach. G-tubes are available as “low profile” or “traditional length.”
Low profile refers to the external portion of the device, often called the bolster, being very flat or flush against the skin. The flat/flush design means that low profile devices are easily hidden under clothing and often referred to as “buttons.” AMT offers low profile G-tubes for both children and adults.
The MiniONE® Balloon Button has an internal retention balloon with an exclusive apple shape that keeps the device in place. For insertion and removal, the balloon can be inflated and deflated in either a clinical setting or a home-care setting. The balloon fill valve on 12-14F MiniONE® Balloon devices is compatible with both Luer (slip tip) and Luer Lock syringes; the balloon fill valve on 16-24F devices is compatible with a slip tip syringe.
STUDY CONFIRMS: Families prefer MiniONE® over Mic-Key®¹
In a single center, prospective, randomized trial with a crossover design, Abdelhadi, et al. examined differences between the two most commonly used low-profile gastrostomy tubes (g-tubes): the MiniONE® (Applied Medical Technology Inc., Brecksville, OH) and the Mic-Key® (Avanos Medical Inc., Alpharetta, GA).¹
THE RESULTS ARE CLEAR: Over 70% of families prefer the AMT MiniONE® over the Avanos Mic-Key®.1
Families who preferred the MiniONE® stated they liked “the smaller size of the external bolster, the fact that is glows in the dark, and that it seemed to cause less skin problems and be less likely to snag or accidentally get dislodged.”1
Patient, family, and caregiver preference is an important factor to consider when selecting a low-profile g-tube because management of home enteral nutrition requires significant participation and commitment.1
