Abstract
A catheter designed for the dual purpose of nasogastric-nasoenteric decompression and enteroclysis is described. The catheter facilitates direct decompression of the obstructed small bowel and, if necessary, subsequent performance of enteroclysis. The use of this tube obviates dual intubation and its accompanying discomfort.
