G-tubes
Medela
A sterile, thin, flexible, hollow cylinder intended to access the stomach of a patient through the nose and nasopharynx primarily for enteral feeding and the administration of medications, either by gravity or with a pump; it may also be used for aspiration of gastric contents (e.g., gastric secretions). It is typically a single lumen, rubber or plastic tube of various diameters (typically smaller than those of nasogastric tubes intended primarily for decompression) with circular markings that serve as insertion guides. It is frequently used for very ill or comatose patients. This is a single-use device.
