Flexible PTFE feeding needles are designed to reduce the risk of trauma and bite-through, providing a safe, low-cost, disposable, solution for oral gavage. The affordable feeding tubes boast distinct features, including a soft silicone tip, a smooth plastic PTFE shaft and an optional, bite-resistant, stainless steel bite-guard for maximum durability when oral dosing.

Flexible feeding needles (gavage needles) have countless laboratory applications. Not only for use when oral dosing small animals, these needles may be used for a variety of surgical and delivery procedures. These needles provide a smooth, burr-free silicone tip which prevents inadvertent damage to the esophagus caused by inferior needles. Add the optional stainless steel bite-guard to combine the flexibility of a plastic needle with the durability of stainless steel.

Optional 1 cm stainless steel bite-guard near the hub is designed to prevent damage from the animal's incisors during oral dosing.
