PURPOSE: A Levin tube inserting guide is provided to improve the inserting accuracy of a Levin tube with respect to a throat regardless of the posture of a patient by using sanitary tool in a Levin tube inserting process. CONSTITUTION: A soft silicon-based mouth piece is used for accurately inserting a Levin tube into a throat. When the Levin tube is inserted from the nasal cavity into pharynx, the Levin tube is closely arranged to the rear wall of the pharynx by a Levin tube inserting guide. The Levin tube inserting guide is a long rod shape, and the length of the Levin tube inserting guide is around 10cm. The end part of the Levin tube inserting guide is slightly bent. The part of the Levin tube inserting guide, which is closely arranged to the lips of a patient, is a circular protrusion in order to prevent the excessive insertion of the Levin tube into the oral cavity of the patient.
