Equivet 13×2700 nasogastric tube, small size · for horses

What is the Equivet 13×2700 nasogastric tube used for?

Not all horses can receive the same nasogastric tube: in ponies, foals, or animals with narrow nostrils, a tube that is too thick complicates the procedure. The Equivet 13×2700 in small size offers a smaller diameter while maintaining its 2,70-meter length, facilitating passage through the nasal passage and making the veterinarian's work easier. It is used to administer fluids via nasogastric tube under professional supervision and is a common item in any equine clinic's first-aid kit. Having two sizes in the kit prevents improvisation when dealing with a small patient. With the small size, the professional gains more room to maneuver and reduces friction during insertion, which benefits both the animal and the procedure itself.

How to use

The veterinarian, or appropriately trained personnel, inserts the syringe after lubricating the tip and measuring the required length. Always confirm the correct position before administering any fluid. Do not force the syringe and follow the clinical protocol and the manufacturer's instructions.
