oesophagostomy tube system

Placement of an oesophagostomy tube is a regular requirement in veterinary practice. Good indications include head trauma, anorexia through illness, or nutrition of trauma patients. Designed and developed by Dr Von Werthern the kit simplifies the placement of an oesophagostomy tube. The probe locates the correct position for the incision. Cutting onto the probe simplifies the oesophagostomy. The channel in the probe directs the oesophagostomy tube down the oesophagus. The tube is marked to indicate depth and has a radio opaque line along its length to enable the surgeon to check positioning. The tube is 50cm long and 4.8mm / CH.15 in diameter and supplied in individual sterile packs.The cap is a two part device allowing administration of food via a cather mount syringe and other medications via a standard luer syringe. Supplied with full instructions and a procedural video. The Kit comprises the Introducer and 10 Oesophagostomy Tubes.
