Device typeGastric calibration tube: A thin, flexible, hollow cylinder with an inflatable balloon at the distal end designed to be inserted into a patient's stomach through the mouth and oesophagus to create and size a gastric pouch typically for a bariatric gastric surgical procedure (e.g., sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding). The proximal end may include a check valve and connects to a syringe, typically included, intended to inflate the balloon to a predetermined volume; fluid suction/irrigation ports are provided at the distal end. This is a single-use device.
