Nasogastric catheters designed to introduce nondrug fluids into the esophagus or stomach. These catheters usually consist of a single-lumen tube with end and/or side holes at their distal port; the proximal port is connected through a Luer lock to a syringe or water pumping system. Irrigation nasogastric catheters are used for stomach lavage procedures.
