Additional Information for Nasogastric Filter
Nasogastric filters are medical devices used in the field of gastroenterology. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Nasogastric filters are specifically designed to be inserted through the nose and into the stomach to filter and remove any solid particles or debris that may be present in the gastric contents. These filters are commonly used during gastric lavage procedures, where the stomach is washed out to remove toxins or foreign substances.
The filters are typically made of a flexible tube with a filter element at one end. The filter element is designed to trap solid particles while allowing liquid to pass through. This helps to prevent any solid particles from entering the patient's respiratory system or causing further complications.
Nasogastric filters are available in various sizes and designs to accommodate different patient needs and procedural requirements. They are disposable devices, meaning they are intended for single-use and should be discarded after each procedure to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.
It is important to note that the use of nasogastric filters should be performed by trained medical professionals following proper guidelines and protocols.
