Product Description

Applied Medical Technology 7-1610 - AMT 16F Balloon Gastrostomy Tube, Y-Port Balloon G-Tube, Each

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.

AMTs Balloon G-Tube:

  • Inflated balloon extends beyond distal catheter tip to reduce erosion and risk of gastric ulceration
  • Flexible silicone material is gentle, provides increased comfort, and minimizes skin irritation
  • Balloon grows horizontally covering more surface area, creating a better gastric seal
  • Adjustable fill volume ensures individualized proper fit

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.
