Instech Laboratories™ Feeding tube, rodent oral gavage, polypropylene, 18ga x 38mm, sterile

Description

Instech's polypropylene gavage tubes are flexible to reduce trauma, translucent to visualise delivery, and disposable to eliminate the cost of cleaning and the chance of compound crossover. Flexible tubes are a recommended animal welfare refinement over rigid metal tubes. The tube and luer hub are made of the same material used to make plastic syringes. The soft, bulb-shaped tip is designed to reduce the chances of inadvertent placement in the trachea and perforation of the oesophagus. Available in 11 sizes for rodents ranging from mouse pups to rats to rabbits.
