Product Description

Unlike some PVC alternatives, which may become rigid in colder conditions or overly soft when warm, the STEQ Equine Stomach Tube maintains consistent flexibility for dependable year-round use.

The smooth, rounded tip supports atraumatic passage into the oesophagus, while the moulded funnel end provides a convenient and secure connection point for drenching pumps, syringes and other suitable equipment.

Its transparent construction allows veterinary professionals to monitor fluid flow and stomach contents throughout the procedure, helping provide improved visibility and control.
