MiniONE Balloon Button has an inside retention balloon with a distinctive apple shape that holds the gadget in place. The balloon may be inflated and deflated for insertion and removal in both clinical and home-care settings. The balloon fill valve for 12-14F MiniONE Balloon devices is compatible with both Luer (slip tip) and Luer Lock syringes, whereas the 16-24F devices only accept a slip tip syringe.

MiniONE Balloon Button Anatomy
A gastrostomy tube, commonly referred to as a G-tube, is designed to deliver nutrition directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall. These devices are available as either traditional-length G-tubes or low-profile G-tube options, depending on patient needs and clinical preference.
Low-profile devices feature a flat external bolster that sits flush against the skin, allowing discreet wear under clothing and enhanced comfort. These low-profile gastrostomy devices are often called “buttons.” AMT offers MiniONE low-profile G-tubes suitable for both pediatric and adult patients.
The MiniONE Balloon Button G-Tube utilizes an internal retention balloon with AMT’s exclusive apple-shaped design, helping maintain secure placement within the stomach. The balloon can be inflated or deflated for insertion or removal in both clinical and home-care environments. Balloon fill valves on 12–14F devices support both Luer slip-tip and Luer lock syringes, while 16–24F devices are compatible with slip-tip syringes.
For optimal performance, safety, and device longevity, AMT strongly recommends the use of AMT-approved extension sets. While other brands may appear compatible, performance and durability cannot be ensured when non-AMT accessories are used.
