Medline Gastrostomy Feeding Tube - Medical Grade Silicone G-Tube with Balloon (DYND70320)

Premium Medical-Grade Silicone Gastrostomy Feeding Tube for Long-Term Enteral Nutrition

The Medline Gastrostomy Feeding Tube represents the gold standard in long-term enteral feeding solutions for patients requiring nutritional support. Engineered from 100% medical-grade silicone, this gastrostomy tube delivers exceptional biocompatibility, durability, and patient comfort for extended feeding protocols in clinical, institutional, and home healthcare settings.

Advanced Design Features for Clinical Excellence

This premium gastrostomy feeding system incorporates a rounded, atraumatic tip that facilitates smooth, gentle insertion while minimizing tissue trauma during placement procedures. The innovative design includes a secure closure cap that effectively seals the tube between feeding sessions, preventing leakage and maintaining hygiene standards throughout the day.

The translucent circular skin disk provides multiple clinical advantages: it adjusts easily to maintain optimal tube positioning, allows continuous visual monitoring of the stoma site for early detection of complications, and distributes pressure evenly across the skin surface to prevent irritation and pressure injuries. Healthcare providers can quickly assess stoma health without removing the device, streamlining patient care workflows.

Superior Balloon Technology for Secure Retention

Featuring a 15cc balloon capacity, the gastric retention balloon expands uniformly when filled with sterile water or saline solution, creating a secure, comfortable internal anchor that prevents tube migration while minimizing pressure on gastric tissue. This even expansion pattern reduces the risk of balloon-related complications and enhances patient tolerance during long-term use.

Comprehensive Clinical Benefits

• 3-Port Configuration: Versatile design with dedicated feeding port, balloon inflation port, and third auxiliary port for irrigation procedures or medication administration
• Patented High-Flow Outlet Design: Engineered port geometry optimizes flow rates, reducing feeding time and improving patient comfort during nutrition delivery
• Prelubricated Lubriguide Stylet: Factory-inserted stylet arrives prelubricated for immediate use, simplifying insertion procedures and reducing preparation time
• Color-Coded French Sizing: Intuitive color identification system enables rapid size verification, reducing selection errors in fast-paced clinical environments
• Sterile Single-Use Design: Each tube is individually sterilized and packaged for single-patient use, eliminating cross-contamination risks
• Latex-Free Construction: Safe for latex-sensitive patients, expanding clinical applicability across diverse patient populations

Clinical Applications and Patient Populations

Ideal for patients requiring long-term enteral nutrition support, including those with dysphagia, neurological conditions, head and neck cancers, gastrointestinal disorders, or post-surgical recovery needs. Suitable for use in acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home healthcare settings under appropriate clinical supervision.

Quality Assurance and Compliance

Manufactured to the highest medical device quality standards, this gastrostomy feeding tube meets stringent regulatory requirements for safety, biocompatibility, and performance. The medical-grade silicone material resists degradation from gastric acids and feeding formulas, maintaining structural integrity throughout extended use periods.

Professional healthcare use only. Proper training in gastrostomy tube placement, maintenance, and troubleshooting is required. Always follow institutional protocols and manufacturer guidelines for safe clinical practice.
