<p>A long intestinal catheter is readily insertable into the small intestine via the nasogastric route. The tube aspirates the small intestine during the operative period, internally plicates the small intestine after surgery, and can apsirate the stomach and the small intestine during the post-operative period. The tube is self-sumping and avoids blockage or closure of any aspirating opening in the tube by the interior lining of the stomach or small intestine during aspiration.</p> |
