A Ryle’s nasogastric tube is a narrow-bore tube passed into the stomach via the nose. It is used for short or medium-term nutritional support, and also for aspiration of stomach contents - eg, for decompression of intestinal obstruction. The use of a nasogastric tube is suitable for enteral feeding for up to six weeks. Polyurethane feeding tubes are unaffected by gastric acid and can therefore remain in the stomach for a longer period than PVC tubes, which can only be used for up to two weeks.

Disposable aseptic gastric tube is mainly used for clinical emergency and critical patients to infuse liquid medicine, drink or flush into the stomach through oral cavity, and suck out liquid and gas. Compared with the common gastric tube, the double head gastric tube is easier to enter into the stomach, and the guide wire can prevent bending.

Disposable sterile ryle's stomach tube is mainly used for clinical emergency and critical patients to inject liquid medicine, drink or rinse into the stomach through the mouth, and suck out liquid and gas. Stainless steel balls or tungsten balls are added to the head end of the silica gel heavy head stomach tube, so that the tube body can be lowered into the stomach more easily.

The percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube which is placed endoscopically. The position of the endoscope can be visualized on the outside of the person's abdomen because it contains a powerful light source. A needle is inserted through the abdomen, visualized within the stomach by the endoscope, and a suture passed through the needle is grasped by the endoscope and pulled up through the esophagus. The suture is then tied to the end of the PEG tube that will be external, and pulled back down through the esophagus, stomach, and out through the abdominal wall. The insertion takes about 20 minutes.

A gastrostomy tube is a tube inserted through a small incision in the abdomen into the stomach and is used for long-term enteral nutrition. It is suitable for long-term use, though they sometimes need to be replaced if used long-term. The G-tube can be useful where there is difficulty with swallowing because of neurologic or anatomic disorders (stroke, esophageal atresia, tracheoesophageal fistula, radiotherapy for head and neck cancer), and to decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonia.

A stomach tube is a medical device used to provide nutrition to people who cannot obtain nutrition by mouth, are unable to swallow safely, or need nutritional supplementation. The state of being fed by a stomach tube is called gavage, enteral feeding or tube feeding.

They are usually made of polyurethane(PU) or silicone or polyvinyl chloride(PVC).
