Frequently Asked Questions
AMT has provided this information as an educational resource tool. This is not intended as a substitute for professional medical care. Your FIRST source of information should be your healthcare provider.
What is Enteral Nutrition?
Enteral Nutrition (EN) is the delivery of nutrients to the body using the gastrointestinal tract or digestive system. Your digestive system is made up of several hollow organs joined as a long tube or pathway through your body.
Digestion begins in your mouth, through chewing the food you intake into smaller pieces which are then swallowed and passed down your esophagus. The esophagus carries the food from your mouth to your stomach. Once in the stomach, the food gets broken down into its main nutrients. These nutrients then pass into your small intestine where they are absorbed into the bloodstream. Once through your small intestine, the remaining material passes into your large intestine where excess liquid is absorbed leaving solid waste product behind to be passed out of your body.
Various medical conditions may make it difficult or impossible for you to eat orally, denying your body of essential nutrients. In such cases, your healthcare provider will select the best type of alternative feeding for your situation.
What type of Enteral Nutrition devices does AMT offer?
A Gastrostomy Tube, also known as a G-tube, may be inserted through the abdominal wall to provide direct access to the stomach for feeding. AMT’s G-tube is called the MiniONE®.
A Gastric-Jejunal Tube, also known as a G-J tube, may be inserted through the abdominal wall into and through the stomach to provide direct access to the jejunum, which is the second part of the small intestine. AMT’s Gastric-Jejunal tube is called the G-JET®.
A G-tube or a G-J tube is a convenient and effective means for delivering nutritional formulas to the body. These nutritional formulas are either commercially available or homemade using a food processor. A healthcare provider will prescribe the proper feeding procedure, formula, and amount of water to most effectively feed you.
What’s the difference between low profile and traditional length devices?
What’s the difference between low profile and traditional length devices?
Low Profile – AMT offers a wide variety of Low Profile G-tubes for both children and adults. These devices are designed to sit flush against the skin and can be concealed under garments easily allowing the patient a wide range of motion.
Traditional Length – AMT has three main Traditional Length G-tubes. These devices are placed through the abdominal wall and have an adjustable external bolster. This adjustable external bolster minimizes surface contact with the skin, allowing tissue to breathe and can be adjusted up to 10cm in length. Tradition length devices extend from the abdominal wall up to 10cm and are not flush with the skin. Traditional Length devices are sometimes referred to as Standard Length devices.
