The Instech FTP-22-38-50 is a pack of 50 flexible polypropylene feeding tubes designed for oral gavage in rats. Featuring a 22ga (0.7 mm) outer diameter and a length of 1.5 inches (38 mm), these disposable tubes are an animal welfare refinement over rigid metal needles, reducing the risk of esophageal trauma. The medical-grade material is transparent for visualization of delivery, and the soft elastomer tip helps prevent inadvertent tracheal placement. Each tube is for single use to eliminate cleaning costs and cross-contamination risk.
