Occupational safety in equine practice
Every time you pass a nasogastric tube, the risk is yours too.
Retrograde air and fluid can carry gastric contents, mineral oil, and zoonotic pathogens straight into the operator's mouth and airway. The NGT+ is your personal protective equipment for tubing horses and cattle — it diverts that backflow away from you, without changing how you tube.
Patented · the only backflow diverter on the market
