ABSTRACT:
A stomach probe has an aspiration tube (1) and a stomach balloon (7) which is to be held, by tensioning of the aspiration tube (1), in contact against the stomach wall (12) surrounding the cardiac orifice (5). The stomach balloon is connected to a pressure control device which is equipped to indicate at least two pressure stages, of which the lower one corresponds to the freely inflated state of the stomach balloon when the tube is untensioned, and the higher one corresponds to the tensioned state of the aspiration tube. The stomach balloon (7) is arranged on the aspiration tube at points which are at a short distance from each other, so that it assumes approximately a torus configuration in the inflated state. It is elastically resilient in the longitudinal direction of the tube.
