Medline Gastric Sump Tubes are designed to deliver dependable suction, drainage, and decompression for gastric and intestinal care. Made from soft, medical-grade PVC, these sterile, single-use tubes provide both comfort and control during short- or long-term gastrointestinal procedures.
Each tube features a dual-lumen design, including a larger suction lumen for continuous drainage and a smaller air vent lumen that minimizes mucosal irritation and prevents vacuum-related injury to stomach tissue. The clear, flexible tubing allows visual monitoring of drainage, while clearly marked length indicators ensure accurate placement.
Medline’s gastric sump tubes are available in multiple French sizes to accommodate various patient needs. The radiopaque line allows easy visualization under X-ray, ensuring safe and correct positioning during use.
Ideal for hospital, surgical, and critical-care environments, these tubes provide reliable performance and patient comfort in gastric suction and decompression procedures.
