When requests come in, they come frequently all at once, seven minutes
apart. So, I have had a number of requests for where to get feeding tubes
(36 inches long, #5 French) for use for lactation aids and finger feeding. I
can't understand why they are so hard to obtain, as most of the companies
which make them are American.

Anyway, Starkman Surgical Supplies in Toronto sell the tubes in boxes of 50
for $47.50 Canadian (last I heard about 3 years ago), or about $1.99 US
(actually Canadian dollar is about 70 cents today).  I don't know if it
would be difficult to order from them and have them sent to you or if there
are any complications about sending them across borders and that sort of
thing, and how much shipping would be, but their phone number is (416)
534-8411. Their address is 1243 Bathurst St. Toronto (don't know postal
code).
