What is a traditional length G-tube?
A traditional length g-tube, which can also be referred to as a PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) tube or a "high profile" G-tube, is an enteral feeding device designed to aid in the delivery of nutrients, fluids, and medications, directly into the stomach bypassing the mouth and esophagus. A traditional length G-tube or high profile tube extends off the abdomen about 7-10cm compared to a low-profile G-tube, which is flush against the skin.
AMT has three main traditional length G-tubes. These devices are placed through the abdominal wall to give direct access to the stomach and has an adjustable external bolster minimizing surface contact with the skin, allowing the tissue to breathe and can be adjusted up to 10cm in length.

Encapsulated Bolster Self-lubricating capsule offers smooth insertion. | Bolster Deploys Easy-to-use pull-away tether causes capsule to split open and bolster deploys internally. | Capsule Material Dissolves Capsule material falls away, dissolves rapidly and passes. |
The Capsule Dome G-Tube was developed as a more efficient way to deliver nutrition and medication for patients needing a long length tube. The design allows for easier placement and a more comfortable innovative internal bolster.
