Disposable Silicone Coated Catheter Silicone Stomach Feeding Tube 8-24FR

Product Specification

Disposable Medical Silicone Stomach Feeding Tube With All Sizes Nutritional Delivery

A silicone coated catheter is a slender, flexible tube that is designed to be inserted into a body cavity, blood vessel, or duct to allow the passage of fluids or perform medical procedures. The silicone coating helps to reduce friction during insertion and removal, which can increase patient comfort.

Similarly, a silicone stomach feeding tube is specifically designed for patients who are unable to consume food orally. It is inserted into the stomach through the abdominal wall to deliver nutrients, medications, or fluids directly to the stomach.

Both the silicone coated catheters and silicone stomach feeding tubes are available in various sizes, typically measured in French (FR) units, ranging from 8FR to 24FR. The size selection depends on the specific medical needs and requirements of the patient.

Material: The tube is made of silicone, which is a biocompatible material commonly used in medical devices. Silicone is flexible, soft, and resistant to degradation by bodily fluids and medications.

Coating: The catheter is coated with silicone, which provides a smooth surface and helps reduce friction during insertion and removal. The coating also facilitates easy passage through the gastrointestinal tract.

Size: The feeding tube comes in various sizes, indicated by the French (FR) scale, ranging from 8FR to 24FR. The French scale is a unit of measurement used to determine the diameter of a catheter or tube.

Disposable: The feeding tube is designed for single-use only, which helps reduce the risk of contamination and infection. After each use, it should be discarded and replaced with a new tube.

Stomach Placement: This type of feeding tube is specifically designed for placement in the stomach. It is inserted through the nostril or mouth and guided down the esophagus into the stomach.

Side Ports: The feeding tube typically features side ports near the distal end. These ports allow for the administration of medications, flushing, or suctioning of stomach contents.

Radiopaque Line: Many silicone stomach feeding tubes have a radiopaque line incorporated into their design. This line is visible on X-ray images, which helps confirm the tube's position in the stomach.

Graduated Markings: The tube may have graduated markings along its length, providing a visual reference for healthcare professionals to measure the insertion depth or monitor the progress of the tube.

Feature:
•Made of 100% medical grade silicone.
•X-ray opaque line throughout the length.
•Open distal end with 4 side holes.
•Marking from the distal end every 5 cm.
