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 Capsule Non-Balloon Button
The MiniONE Capsule Non-Balloon Button offers advantages found nowhere else! It combines the advantages of a low profile device with the longer life of a non-balloon device. Due to inserting like a balloon device, the capsule technology dramatically reduces discomfort during placement. Available in 14, 18, 20 and 24F with varying stoma length sizes ranging from 1.0cm through 4.4cm.
What is Mini Capsule Non-Balloon Button?
Mini Capsule Non-Balloon Button is a low-profile feeding device designed to help those patients that have feeding difficulties meet their nutritional requirements. Mini Capsule Non-Balloon Button lies flush against the skin of the abdomen and has a small internal bolster which sits inside the stomach and prevents the device from falling out.
What is Capsule Technology?
Encapsulated BolsterSelf-lubricating capsule offers smooth insertion. |
Bolster DeploysEasy-to-use pull-away tether causes capsule, to split open and bolster deploys internally. |
Capsule Material DissolvesCapsule material falls away, dissolves rapidly and passes. |
Benefits of the MiniONE Capsule Non-Balloon Button
The MiniONE Capsule Non-Balloon Button combines the advantages of a low-profile device with the longer life of a non-balloon device.
- Ideal for patients who dont tolerate balloon buttons
- Significantly longer life than a balloon button
- Capsule design dramatically reduces pain during insertion
- Button shaft is as narrow as that of a balloon button
- Capsule is self-lubricating for easy insertion
- Internal bolster is smaller than a balloon button (less likely to block pylorus)
- Internal dome provides more larger openings for more efficient feeding and venting
- Removal tool distends bolster to a smaller profile
MiniONE Capsule Non-Balloon Button Anatomy
MiniONE Capsule Non-Balloon Button Are Unique
The AMT Mini ONE Capsule Non-Balloon Button design offers advantages found nowhere else:
- No balloon to fail, so replacements occur less often
- Capsule design dramatically reduces pain during insertion
- Button shaft is as narrow as that of a balloon button, and the capsule is self-lubricating for easy insertion
- Pull-away tether releases capsule to easily deploy internal bolster
- Removal tool distends bolster to a smaller profile
- Ideal for patients who dont tolerate balloon buttons
- Internal bolster is smaller than a balloon (less likely to block the pylorus)
- Internal dome provides more holes/ openings for better feeding and venting
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.
