Stomach Pump Tube
Free!
Stomach pump tube for rapid, orogastric access and gastric lavage. The wide-bore design, smooth tip, and side eyes enable fast removal of toxins, fluids, and gastric contents in emergencies or for decompression. Radiopaque markings aid placement checks, while clear medical-grade tubing and universal connectors make setup quick and intuitive. Ideal for emergency, surgical, and critical-care use when speed, flow, and reliable drainage matter.
Description
A stomach pump tube is a wide-bore, orogastric tube designed for rapid gastric access and evacuation. Clinicians use it to remove ingested toxins or overdoses, decompress a distended stomach, and obtain gastric samples before analysis. The tube is inserted through the mouth into the stomach and connected to a syringe or suction device to instill and aspirate fluids as part of gastric lavage.
Key features and benefits
• Wide-bore lumen for fast flow during lavage and decompression, saving critical minutes in emergencies.
• Smooth rounded tip with multiple side eyes to promote effective drainage while reducing mucosal trauma.
• Radiopaque stripe to confirm placement under X-ray and reduce the risk of malposition.
• Clear, medical-grade polymer (commonly PVC or silicone) for visibility of aspirate and easy monitoring.
• Centimeter markings and a bite block or connector that supports secure fixation and accurate depth control.
• Universal funnel or catheter-tip connector compatible with standard syringes and suction tubing.
• Typically supplied sterile for single use to support infection-prevention protocols; options may include DEHP-free materials.
Common use cases and settings
• Emergency departments for acute poisoning and certain overdoses where gastric lavage is clinically indicated.
• Preoperative or postoperative decompression to relieve gastric distention and reduce aspiration risk.
• Critical care and ambulance services requiring rapid gastric access.
• Laboratory sampling of gastric contents for diagnostic evaluation when ordered by a clinician.
How it compares
Compared with nasogastric feeding tubes, a stomach pump tube is shorter, stiffer, and wider, allowing faster evacuation and more reliable lavage. It is not intended for long-term feeding. Compared with narrow suction catheters, it permits higher flow rates and better removal of particulate material.
Notes on quality and compliance
Reputable medical-grade tubes are produced from biocompatible materials and packaged sterile, with lot traceability and clear labeling to support hospital quality systems.
