Abstract: The invention relates to a gastric tube for supplying or removing substances to or from the gastric tract of a patient, and to a method for introducing a gastric tube. In order to reduce the strain on the patient and the risk of injury, especially for patients with disturbed consciousness, the inventive gastric tube comprises a first tubular element (101, 201) which can be introduced into the gastric tract of a patient, forming a supply lumen (102) for substances to be supplied or removed to or from the gastric tract. Said first tubular element (101, 102) is formed from a skin-compatible and flexible material. The inventive gastric tube also comprises a second tubular element (108, 208) which is fixed to the first tubular element (101, 201) and provided with means for triggering the swallowing reflex of the patient, the second tubular element (108, 208) being more rigid than the first tubular element (101, 201).
