Frequently asked questions
Why choose a non-balloon device over a standard one?
The MiniONE non-balloon button uses a durable internal silicone bolster rather than an inflatable balloon. This design is highly beneficial because it eliminates risks associated with balloon failure, such as accidental deflation or leakage, providing a more reliable and long-lasting solution for enteral feeding.
Is this design more comfortable for the patient?
Yes. Because the internal bolster is engineered to be compact, it occupies less space within the stomach compared to a traditional balloon. This, combined with its low-profile external design that sits flush against the skin, makes it a discreet and comfortable option for long-term use.
Is this button suitable for sensitive gastric environments?
Absolutely. This device is specifically recommended for patients who may not tolerate standard balloon buttons well due to unique anatomy or gastric sensitivities. The silicone retention bolster is specifically engineered to be more anatomically friendly and robust in these environments.
Is this device considered sterile?
Yes, the device is provided sterile to ensure it is ready for safe medical use upon arrival.
Does this kit include everything needed for initial placement?
Yes, this is a comprehensive kit. It includes:
- (1) MiniONE Gastrostomy Device
- (1) Bolus Extension Set and (1) Y-port Extension Set
- (1) 35cc Bolus Syringe and (1) 5cc/10cc Balloon Syringe
- (1) Introducer/Stiffener
- Gauze and water-soluble lubricant
What is the material composition of the tube?
The device is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade silicone. This material is chosen for its biocompatibility, flexibility, and durability for long-term use in enteral nutrition.
How do I secure the feeding extension sets?
The device features a distinct blue locking mechanism on the external bolster. This mechanism is designed for intuitive operation, allowing you to securely and easily attach your extension sets for feeding.
Are there any specific cleaning or maintenance requirements?
Routine maintenance is straightforward. The kit includes the necessary components for standard care. Because there is no balloon to deflate or maintain, you avoid the common maintenance issues related to balloon integrity.
Is this product manufactured to specific quality standards?
Yes. The MiniONE Gastrostomy Tube is manufactured in the United States and is both Buy American Act (BAA) and Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliant, meeting rigorous manufacturing and quality standards.
