Buyer questions, answered
Clear answers for preparing a comparable sourcing request for Stomach Tube.
What is the difference between a Ryles tube and an NG tube?
A Ryles tube is a type of nasogastric (NG) tube. The name is common in India and South Asia for a PVC NG tube with side eyes and a radiopaque line, used for aspiration, drainage and feeding. Buyers often use the two names for the same product family.
What size and color codes do Ryles tubes use?
NG tubes are sized in French (Fr). This tube is listed from Fr 6 to Fr 24, and each size has a color-coded connector. Colors can differ between suppliers, so also check the size marked on the tube and label.
What is a nasogastric tube used for?
It drains and decompresses the stomach, removes gastric contents for testing or lavage, and delivers feeds or medicines for short periods. The use in each case is decided by the clinician.
How is the position of the tube checked?
The radiopaque line shows on X-ray, which lets clinicians confirm where the tip lies. Bedside checks, such as testing the pH of aspirate, follow the facility's protocol.
