Gastroduodenal Probes

The UNOQUIP gastric feeding tubes can remain inside the patient for four weeks without any risk of systemic release of products resulting from the decay of polyvinyl chloride, or of hardening and formation of traumatic creases. Our feeding tubes are phthalate-free, which endows them with plasticity and assures that they remain smooth and flexible. The feeding tubes use poly-adipate, a plasticizer tested in accordance to the norm ISO 10993, which does not present any health risk. One of the conditioning factors of the probes’ durability is its loss of flexibility due to dispersal of the plasticizer to the adjacent tissues. By using poly-adipate, the problem of dispersal is significantly reduced, so the probe can remain for long periods of time inside the patient.

Features:

• 125cm long probe, opaque to x-ray.
• Diameter between CH 08 and CH 20
• Atraumatic design, anti-adherent surface which bypasses the use of lubricants.
• Four lateral openings placed asymmetrically, of equal diameter to the lumen in order to prevent obstructions.
• Ryles type markings for visual control of position.
• Permanence inside patient for four weeks without any risk of systemic release of products resulting from the decay of polyvinyl chloride or of formation of traumatic creases.
