A gastric calibration tube is a medical device used primarily during bariatric surgeries, such as sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass procedures. It helps the surgeon accurately measure and calibrate the stomach's internal dimensions2. Here are some key features:
Material: Made of medical-grade silicone, ensuring durability and biocompatibility.
Design: Often comes with a soft, atraumatic tip to prevent damage to the stomach lining.
Balloon: Some models include an inflatable balloon to help with positioning and calibration.
Markings: Contains markings along its length to guide the surgeon in positioning the tube correctly.
Suction Holes: Equipped with small suction holes to avoid vacuum formation and potential tissue damage.
These tubes are crucial for ensuring precise surgical outcomes and minimizing complications during bariatric procedures.
