Specs & features.
Also known as a nasogastric (NG) or orogastric tube, this tool is specifically scaled for the anatomy of large animals like cattle, buffalo, and horses. Typically measuring around 2 to 3 meters in length, it acts as a direct conduit between the outside environment and the animal's stomach. It is frequently connected to drenching pumps or large syringes to facilitate the flow of liquid diets and medications, or it relies on gravity to aspirate stomach contents during emergencies like colic or intestinal obstruction.

- Atraumatic Design: Features a smooth, rounded tip to prevent mucosal damage and minimize discomfort to the animal during insertion and removal.
- Semi-Transparent Construction: Allows veterinarians to visually monitor the flow and color of fluids, ensuring proper placement and function.
- Flexible Yet Kink-Resistant: Manufactured from medical-grade, work-hardened plastic or vinyl that easily bends to conform to the animal's anatomy while resisting collapsing or kinking under pressure.
