G-tubes
Tiger
A sterile, thin, flexible, hollow cylinder designed to access the small intestines (duodenum or jejunum) through the nose and nasopharynx for examination (e.g., of intestinal contents), treatment (e.g., decompression, short-term feeding), or other purposes. It is a single- or dual-lumen, rubber or plastic tube (nasoduodenal or nasojejunal tube) that is smaller and longer than a nasogastric tube and may have a small weight or magnet at the distal tip to facilitate placement. It is frequently used for very ill or comatose patients. Some types are used to remove air and liquids from the stomach by connection to intermittent suction units and/or for enteral feeding. This is a single-use device.
