Nasogastric tubes are flexible tubes built with rubber or polyurethane plastic, which pass through the nose, down through the esophagus, and into the stomach. These are used to deliver liquid food and administer medications directly to the stomach via the esophagus. NG tubes are typically made of soft, flexible materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or silicone and come in different sizes and lengths to accommodate various patient needs. These are commonly used for enteral feeding in patients who are unable to eat or drink due to conditions such as swallowing difficulties, severe illness, surgery, or trauma.
