Urethane Stomach Tubes for Foals and Horses
A stomach tube lets a veterinarian pass fluids or medication to the stomach, or relieve stomach contents, without surgery. This collection brings together four urethane stomach tubes in foal, small, medium and large sizes for equine practices. Prices range from $38.50 to $66.00, and every tube ships from Sialkot with worldwide delivery. All four sizes are currently sold out, so please contact us for availability.
Foal and Small Sizes
A foal needs a much smaller tube than an adult horse, so the right size matters for both safety and comfort. The EquiVet Urethane Stomach Tube for Foals is made for foals and is priced at $55.00. The Equivet Urethane Stomach Tube Small is our most affordable size, at $38.50, and suits smaller animals.
Medium and Large Sizes
For adult horses, choose a larger tube. The Equivet Urethane Stomach Tube Medium and the Equivet Urethane Stomach Tube Large are both priced at $66.00. Check the product pages for the exact diameter and length of each size.
Why Urethane?
Urethane is a flexible, durable material, which helps the tube pass smoothly and hold its shape in use. It is also easy to clean between uses. A flexible tube is easier to pass and handle than a stiff one, but the technique, size selection and use of any stomach tube should always follow a veterinarian’s instructions.
Choosing the Right Size
Match the tube to the animal. Foals and small ponies need the smaller sizes, and adult horses need the medium or large. If you treat a range of patients, keep more than one size on hand. Check each product page for diameter and length, or contact us for help choosing.
Care and Handling
Rinse the tube thoroughly after each use, so no fluid or residue dries inside the lumen. Check it for kinks, cracks, rough ends or worn areas before the next use, and replace any tube that is damaged. Follow the cleaning and disinfection guidance for the product, and store it clean and dry, without sharp bends.
