I must confess I haven't yet tried the tube feeding with a #5 French tube, 
only the SNS, so I have yet to get my mitts on these little gems.  Jan, 
could you email me privately and share your source?  I've been searching 
the 'net for a source after exhausting local sources, and the two I have 
found either service a state other than my own, or are veterinary supplies!

BTW the medical supply source that services a state other than my own 
offers the feeding tubes in 40, 60, and 90 cm, 10/case.  For those who 
have bought these, do they come individually packaged/sterile?  Are they 
soft like the SNS tubing, or stiffer?  Another LC brought up concerns 
about liability when I mentioned this technique; anyone have any thoughts 
on this?

TIA,
