A gastric calibration tube is a flexible, single-use tube with an inflatable balloon used during bariatric surgery to shape and size the stomach pouch. Inserted through the mouth and esophagus, it helps surgeons create the correct dimensions for procedures like sleeve gastrectomy or gastric banding by inflating the balloon to a precise volume.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical instruments, often requiring compliance with general safety and performance standards. They may include a syringe for balloon inflation and ports for fluid management, with specifications tailored to surgical needs like pouch size or bypass length.
