What is the AMT MiniONE® Capsule Non-Balloon Button Gastrostomy (ENFit)?

The AMT MiniONE® Capsule Non-Balloon Button Gastrostomy Tube is a premium low-profile G-Tube designed to deliver enteral nutrition — including food and fluids — directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall. Engineered for patient comfort, clinical safety, and everyday discretion, this ENFit-compatible gastrostomy button is available in all sizes, making it a trusted choice for both pediatric and adult enteral feeding needs.

What is a Gastrostomy Tube (G-Tube)?

A Gastrostomy Tube (G-Tube) is a medical feeding device inserted through the abdominal wall and into the stomach. It is used when a patient is unable to meet their nutritional needs through oral feeding alone. G-Tubes are available in two primary external profile styles:

• 📏 Traditional Length G-Tubes – Feature an extended external tube that sits away from the skin surface
• 🔵 Low-Profile G-Tubes (“Buttons”) – Feature a flat, skin-flush external bolster that is discreet and easily concealed under clothing

Understanding Low-Profile G-Tube Buttons

Low-profile gastrostomy tubes, commonly referred to as “buttons”, are designed so that the external portion of the device — known as the bolster — sits flat and flush against the skin. This design offers key advantages for patients and caregivers:

✅ Easily hidden under everyday clothing for greater confidence and independence
✅ Reduced risk of accidental snagging, pulling, or dislodgement
✅ Comfortable and practical for active lifestyles — ideal for children and adults alike
✅ A more natural look and feel compared to traditional-length devices
