A casualty held in prolonged field care may need gastric decompression, medication delivery, or nutritional support — capability that sits beyond standard TCCC and requires components that are easy to leave behind or improvise badly.
What packages gastric-tube capability — with placement verification — in one 5.5 oz kit?
This kit assembles every item required, in one compact package, so a medic isn't sourcing parts separately in the field. The 14 Fr 48″ nasogastric tube fits adult patients and pairs with a 60 ml catheter-tip irrigation syringe for gastric aspiration and flushing. The included pH test strips (1.0–14.0) are the safety-critical element: confirming the tube is in the stomach — not the airway — via pH check before any infusion. Surgical lubricant, nitrile gloves, and gauze complete the supply chain. At 5.5 oz and under 1.5″ thick, it fits a MOLLE pouch, aid-bag side pocket, or pack insert — purpose-built for SOF medics and corpsmen in PCC/PFC far from definitive care. Indication and technique are governed by the provider's scope — see the note below.
Provider scope: intended for medics and clinicians whose scope of practice includes gastric-tube placement — SOF medics, corpsmen, PAs, and advanced providers. Confirm tube placement per protocol before any infusion. Deploy only within your training, credentialing, and scope of practice.
