Product Overview
Nasogastric and orogastric tube insertion are advanced procedures required during Prolonged Field Care when a patient requires gastric decompression, medication delivery, or nutritional support beyond the reach of standard TCCC care. North American Rescue developed this NG/OG Kit to ensure combat medics, pararescuemen, and advanced tactical medics have every item required — in one compact, mission-packaged format — without improvising or sourcing components separately in the field.
The 14 Fr, 48-inch nasogastric tube accommodates adult patients and is paired with a 60 ml catheter tip irrigation syringe for initial gastric verification and flushing. The included pH test strip pack (1.0–14.0 range) is a critical component: confirming tube placement in the stomach rather than the respiratory tract requires pH verification as a safety step before any infusion. Surgical lubricant, nitrile gloves, and gauze complete the procedural supply chain within a single small package.
At just 5.5 oz and under 1.5 inches thick, the NAR NG/OG Kit fits within standard MOLLE pouches, aid bag side pockets, or the inner pockets of a tactical medic pack. It is purpose-built for military special operations medics and SOF corpsmen operating in PCC/PFC scenarios far from definitive care — where the ability to maintain airway patency and administer medications via tube becomes mission-critical.
