A gastric lavage kit is a set of non-sterile tools designed to flush, wash, and remove harmful substances or debris from the stomach. Clinically, it’s used in emergencies—such as poisoning or overdose—to clear the stomach quickly, often in hospital settings like ERs or trauma centers.
These kits are single-use and typically include tubing, bags, and sometimes activated charcoal to aid absorption. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they’re generally classified based on their risk level and intended use, with oversight ensuring safety for healthcare providers administering them.
