Product Description:

A medical gastric catheter is a medical device used to drain gastric fluid or gas, supply nutrition or drugs. It is usually a flexible tube that is inserted into the patient’s stomach through the mouth or nose. These catheters have a variety of uses in clinical practice:

1. Gastric emptying and drainage: After certain diseases or surgeries, fluid or gas may accumulate in the stomach, causing discomfort or complications. Gastric catheters can help empty these effusions or reduce gas pressure in the stomach, promoting patient comfort and recovery.

2. Nutritional support: For patients who cannot take enough nutrition orally, such as critically ill patients or patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction, gastric catheters can be used to deliver nutrient solution to ensure the patient’s nutritional needs.

3. Drug administration: Some drugs need to be administered directly to the stomach in order to effectively treat gastric diseases or other diseases that affect the gastrointestinal system. Gastric catheters can accurately deliver these drugs to the target location.

4. Examination and treatment: In some medical examinations or treatments, such as gastric exploration or gastric fluid analysis, gastric catheters can be used as one of the operating tools to help doctors obtain necessary information or perform treatment operations.

The selection and use of gastric catheters should strictly follow medical standards and the individual conditions of the patient to ensure safety and effectiveness. Common types of gastric catheters include tubes of different lengths and diameters, and the specific choice usually depends on the purpose of treatment and the patient’s physiological state.
