NGT+ is your solution for prevention of oral contamination when placing nasogastric or orogastric tubes in animals.
Biosecurity
The device has been sterilized in an ETO gas sterilizer and individually packaged to ensure that it comes to you clean, ensuring biosecurity for the veterinarian, staff, and their patients.
The device securely attaches to the end of the tube for a solid, but removable connection that allows hands free introduction of the tube into the stomach.
When air is coming from an oral direction up the tube the slide will be in an open position. This allows air to bypass the mouth.
This shows the slide in closed position, exit port is closed while air is forced through the tube to open the esophagus and facilitate passage of the tube.
When using this device, it is essential to avoid the introduction of liquids into the main body will render it nonfunctional. Thus, we recommend that it is removed from the tube when not in use. This will prevent liquid from the tube entering the device when the tube is inverted. A clip that attaches to the halter is included for convenience, and its use will keep the device in an upright position.
Additional Information
NGT+ is intended for single procedure use. If you are tubing an animal, the device should function for the entire procedure.
NGT+ is made of polymer that is not affected by either high or low environmental temperatures; however, to maintain optimum functionality, we recommend keeping it in moisture free conditions at temperatures between -30° to 200°.
