Abstract
This invention discloses a system for safe and non-traumatic insertion of a nasogastric tube, said system comprises of a nasogastric tube and a curved rubber nasopharyngeal sheath, long enough to reach the hypopharynx from the nostrils. Said sheath has two longitudinal tear-off lines over its full length and two ringed handles to apply lateral pull traction. The diameter of both the tube and the sheath are such that the sheath can accommodate the nasogastric tube. This system can also be used in patients who are endotracheally intubated.
