The Instech FTPU-16-38-50 is a 16-gauge polyurethane feeding tube designed for oral gavage in mice. This 3.8 cm (1.5 in) tube features a larger inner diameter than standard polypropylene tubes, facilitating the delivery of viscous compounds. The soft, rounded tip is engineered to wipe clean upon withdrawal, reducing the risk of accidental compound aspiration. Its medical-grade polyurethane construction provides a balance of flexibility and durability, minimizing esophageal trauma while resisting gnawing. This box of 50 tubes ensures high surgical standards for short-term or chronic laboratory studies.
