Specs & features.
These tubes are flexible, narrow-bore devices constructed from high-quality, non-toxic materials like medical-grade rubber or PVC. They range in length (typically 100 to 150 cm) and are sized using the French (Fr) scale, where the diameter scales with the size of the patient (e.g., \(3.5\text{ Fr}\) for kittens/puppies). The design allows safe passage through the throat or surgical site directly into the digestive tract.
No specifications have been listed.
