The Hungry Manikin has been developed to demonstrate and teach the technique for inserting a nasogastric tube and a G-tube or PEG probe in a gastrostomy. Due to the transparent (children's) torso, it is clearly visible where the probes are located. The model has a movable epiglottis to simulate swallowing.
