How should intubation technique be adapted to suit silicone rubber catheters?
Swallowing should be used as the primary driver and guidance for the catheter, at least until the catheter tip reaches the oesophagus. This is actually the best technique for all catheters, but some users prefer to rely mainly on pushing the catheter. Our silicone rubber catheters can be pushed, but not as forcefully as PVC catheters.
