Specs & features.
A veterinary stomach tube (often referred to as an orogastric or nasogastric tube) is a flexible device passed through an animal's mouth or nose directly into the stomach. The "blue" designation generally refers to a specific size or a color-coded connector used for quick sizing and identification.
No specifications have been listed.
- Material & Construction: Usually crafted from smooth, non-toxic PVC or rubber. It is flexible enough to avoid trauma to the throat but stiff enough to resist kinking.
- Color-Coded Connectors: The "blue" aspect is often a universal funnel connector at the proximal end used for fast size identification and easy attachment to funnels or syringes.
- Depth Markings: Radiopaque lines or depth markers (e.g., at 45, 55, 65, and 75 cm) allow veterinarians to verify proper placement visually and on X-rays.
