Levins Gastrointestinal Tube

Levins Gastrointestinal Tube is a single-lumen gastrointestinal tube designed for short-term gastric access in veterinary patients. Commonly used for gastric decompression, aspiration, lavage, and feeding, this tube provides a reliable and practical solution for routine clinical and surgical applications.

Available in sizes from 6FG to 20FG, increasing in 2 French gauge increments, the Levin’s Tube range allows clinicians to select the most appropriate size for different species, patient sizes, and clinical requirements.

Each tube features an open distal tip with four lateral eyes, supporting efficient drainage, aspiration, and fluid administration while helping to reduce the risk of occlusion. The smooth, rounded tip is designed to support atraumatic insertion, making it suitable for use in conscious or sedated patients where clinically appropriate.

Manufactured from flexible, medical-grade material, Levin’s Tubes offer a balance of softness and structural integrity. This flexibility allows the tube to conform to anatomical pathways while maintaining lumen patency during use. Clear external graduation markings support accurate placement and monitoring, assisting clinicians during insertion and ongoing use.

Levin’s Tubes are widely used in veterinary practices for procedures such as gastric emptying, relief of gastric distension, administration of fluids or nutrition, and sampling of gastric contents. Their straightforward design makes them a dependable option for both emergency and routine applications.
