Ellen, We went through a local medical supply house to get #5 French tubing, not in bulk, but individually packaged. It's called "premature infant feeding tube", plastic, 5 Fr., 15" long (38.1 cm). Brand name is Davol, reorder # is 0036400. I am in private practice and it's certainly harder to come up with equipment that hospital based LC's take for granted. Hope this is helpful. Warmly, Pat Bucknell, IBCLC Avon Lake OH *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
