The Clonmed Gastric Calibration Tube is a precision medical device engineered for use during bariatric surgical procedures, specifically Sleeve Gastrectomy and Mini Gastric Bypass. Designed to provide surgeons with accurate tactile and visual feedback, this tube facilitates the calibration of the gastric pouch and helps ensure consistent surgical outcomes.

Constructed from medical-grade silicone, the Clonmed tube features a soft, atraumatic radiopaque tip to minimize tissue trauma during insertion. The integrated distal suction holes allow for efficient aspiration of gastric fluids and residual air, aiding in leak testing and maintaining a clear surgical field. With clearly marked incremental centimeter markings, the surgical team can precisely position the device, ensuring clear communication between the surgeon and anesthetist throughout the procedure .

Whether you are performing a primary bariatric procedure or a revision surgery, the Clonmed Gastric Calibration Tube offers the reliability and precision required for modern metabolic surgery.

Key Features

• Atraumatic Radiopaque Tip: Soft distal tip allows for safe insertion and clear visibility under fluoroscopy, reducing the risk of esophageal or gastric perforation .
  
  

• Precision Calibration Markings: Clearly visible centimeter (cm) increments along the tube shaft enable accurate placement and sizing of the gastric pouch .
  
  

• Integrated Suction Control: Features distal suction holes and a finger-controlled suction mechanism, allowing for efficient aspiration of stomach contents and leak testing without vacuum formation .
  
  

• Universal Connectivity: Compatible with standard syringes for leak testing and irrigation procedures .
  
  

• Medical-Grade Silicone: Flexible and biocompatible material ensures smooth intubation and maneuverability within the anatomy .
  
  

Uses / Indications

The Clonmed Gastric Calibration Tube is indicated for use in:

• Sleeve Gastrectomy: Serving as a guide (bougie) to calibrate the size of the newly created gastric sleeve.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the primary purpose of the Clonmed Gastric Calibration Tube?
The Clonmed Gastric Calibration Tube is primarily used during bariatric surgery (such as sleeve gastrectomy) to act as a sizing guide. It helps the surgeon determine the appropriate volume and dimensions of the new stomach pouch, ensuring consistency and preventing the pouch from being too narrow or too wide .

2. Is this tube compatible with standard suction equipment?
Yes, the Clonmed tube features universal connectivity and is designed with distal suction holes and a finger suction control mechanism. This allows it to be connected to standard hospital suction for the aspiration of gastric fluids or for performing leak tests with a syringe .

Price: Rs. 6950/- per piece (Taxes & Transporation Extra).
