A Ryles tube — a long, narrow feeding tube passed through the nose into the stomach — is common for patients who can't swallow safely, including those recovering from a stroke, living with dysphagia, or on a ventilator. Our nurses insert and manage these tubes at home, so you don't need a hospital visit just for a routine change.
Our nurses are experienced specifically with nasogastric tube insertion and the ongoing care it requires — checking placement, managing feeds, and watching for irritation or displacement. For patients with limited mobility, avoiding a hospital trip for something this routine makes a real difference.
