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.

MiniONE Balloon Button Benefits

  • 37% lower profile external bolster; no hard, bulky bolster
  • Made from the highest grade medical silicone to reduce skin irritation and improve patient comfort
  • Soft and flexible bolster is easy to clean around and less likely to create trauma to the stoma site
  • The tapered transition from the shaft to the external bolster creates a better seal outside the stomach

Reduce Leaks

The MiniONE Balloon Button is designed to maximize the gastric seal surface for a better fit.

  • Apple Shaped Balloon grows horizontally when filled, covering more surface area at the gastrostomy site.
  • Tapered Transition from the shaft to the base of the external bolster is designed for a more secure fit.
  • Durable anti-reflux valve offers maximum protection.
  • Adjustable balloon allows for fill variation to ensure individualized proper fit.

Improve Comfort

Comfort is key when it comes to patient, caregiver, and clinician satisfaction with any enteral feeding device.

  • 37% Lower Profile external bolster lays discreetly beneath clothing.
  • 40% Lower Profile internal retention balloon occupies less gastric space.
  • Soft flexible high grade silicone is friendly to skin surface and easy to clean around.
  • Unobtrusive Fill Port angled away from the body for reduced irritation to skin.
  • Glow Green feed port and feed set connector glow-in-the-dark to assist caregivers with administration of nighttime feeds, avoiding the need to wake the patient.

Durability

Independent third party testing has shown significantly longer balloon life under controlled laboratory acid test conditions when comparing the AMT MiniONE balloon versus the leading competitor balloon.

Locking Feed Sets


What is ENFit

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has created a new standard design for enteral connectors, termed the "ENFit Connector."

These new ENFit Connectors are intended to improve patient safety and to decrease the risk of medical device misconnections. This new connector has been designed to be incompatible with Luer adapters, which are commonly used in IV applications. The ENFit connector will look & secure very similar to a Luer threaded lock system, although the design is larger and thus, incompatible with Luers.

Why ENFit?

ENFit is a patient safety initiative, designed to ensure that feeding tube connectors are incompatible with the connectors for unrelated delivery systems such as trach tubes, IV lines, and catheters. Misconnections involving such medical devices may be relatively rare compared with the number of patients needing tubes or IVs, but such misconnections can have deadly consequences when they do occur.

ENFit is a global initiative that affects end users, manufacturers, and suppliers. The ENFit Connectors were developed as part of the Stay Connected initiative under the supervision of clinicians, manufacturers, and regulators.

What is AMTs Role?

AMT will be in compliance with the enteral connector requirements of ISO 80369-3, better known as ENFit, established by the governing bodies to manage the changeover. During the interim period, AMT has made enteral feeding transition adapters available to smooth the transition while continuing to protect patients.

What Does this Mean for You?

What is changing is how you connect your food source to the feed set, which in turn connects to an enteral feeding device. The straight or right angle connectors, which attach and lock into low-profile feeding devices, will remain the same. The distal end of feed sets, which connect directly into the device, are not regulated at this time. However, the proximal side of the feed set, your bolus or y-port adapters, will begin to incorporate the ENFit design into newly created product lines.
