Stomach /nasoduodenal/ probe - length 1100 mm,
A
nasoduodenal probe is a medical device used to deliver nutrition directly into
the stomach or small intestine. It is a type of feeding tube that is inserted
through the nose and passed down into the duodenum or jejunum. This method of
feeding is used in patients who are unable to take nutrition by mouth, either
temporarily or permanently, due to a variety of medical conditions such as an
injury to the mouth or throat, swallowing difficulties, or gastrointestinal
disorders. The nasoduodenal probe provides a way to deliver nutrients directly
to the digestive system, bypassing the mouth and esophagus, and ensuring
adequate nutrition for the patient.
