The MiniONE Family of G-Tubes

The More Comfortable Alternative for Enteral Feeding

As a caregiver or patient, we believe you have a right to the most comfortable and reliable gastrostomy tubes, thats why we developed the MiniONE line of buttons. Whether you use our Balloon or Non-Balloon g-tube designs, we strive to provide the comfort and confidence you deserve, minimizing leaks, balloon breaks and granulation tissue.

As the Leader in Enteral Device Innovation, we were present at the birth and development of the Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) movement. Our founder co-invented the very first low profile feeding device, often called a button g-tube, which we manufactured for distribution by others.

MiniONE Balloon Button

The MiniONE Balloon Button product line offers a 37% lower profile external bolster and is made from the highest grade medical silicone to reduce skin irritation and improve patient comfort. The soft and flexible external bolster is easy to clean and less bulky. Available in 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 24F with varying stoma length sizes ranging from 0.8cm through 6.5cm.

Its All About the Balloon

An Adjustable Balloon

Balloon fill volume can be easily adjusted for a custom-fit, as recommended by your healthcare provider. A better fit can improve patient comfort and reduce leaks.

A Durable Balloon

Made from the highest grade medical silicone, which can result in a balloon with a longer life.

A Better Balloon

Unique "apple" shaped balloon is designed to cover more surface area and minimize leaks at the gastrostomy site. When filled, the AMT balloon grows horizontally to provide a larger seal surface and may help to reduce granulation tissue.
