Frequently asked questions
Does this device prioritize patient comfort?
Yes, the MiniONE is specifically engineered for patient comfort with several key features:
- Low Profile Bolster: It features a 37% lower profile than standard models to reduce bulk and protrusion.
- Medical-Grade Silicone: This material is soft and flexible, helping it conform to the patient’s body to minimize skin irritation and pressure-related trauma.
Is this tube made from high-quality materials?
Absolutely. The device is constructed from premium medical-grade silicone, which is known for its durability, flexibility, and compatibility with sensitive skin, ensuring a safe and long-term solution for enteral nutrition.
Are there features to assist with nighttime care?
Yes, the kit includes “Glo Green” components. These are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, making it significantly easier for caregivers or patients to manage feedings during the night.
Is this kit comprehensive for immediate use?
Yes, this is a complete starter kit. It includes:
- 1 Gastrostomy Device
- Bolus and Y-port Extension Sets
- 5cc/10cc and 35cc Syringes
- Water-soluble lubricant and gauze
- Optional introducer/stiffener
Does the design prevent leakage outside the stomach?
The design features a tapered transition from the device shaft to the external bolster. This intentional engineering ensures a more effective and secure seal against the skin.
Is this device manufactured in the United States?
Yes, this product is proudly manufactured in the United States. It is also fully compliant with both the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Trade Agreement Act (TAA).
Is the silicone material gentle on the skin?
The medical-grade silicone was selected specifically to reduce skin breakdown. Its inherent flexibility allows the device to move with the patient’s anatomy, which helps prevent the friction and irritation often associated with more rigid feeding tubes.
Does this kit include a sterile device?
Yes, the MiniONE Low Profile Balloon Button is provided in sterile packaging, ensuring it meets the high clinical standards required for medical-grade gastrostomy devices.
Can I use the included syringes for different purposes?
Yes, the kit provides specific tools for different stages of the process:
- 5cc/10cc Syringe: Primarily intended for managing the balloon inflation.
- 35cc Bolus Syringe: Provided to facilitate the actual feeding or medication delivery process.
Is the external bolster designed to be discreet?
Yes, because it features a 37% lower profile than standard gastrostomy tubes, the bolster sits flatter against the body. This reduces snagging on clothing and provides a more discreet appearance for the patient.
