Abstract
There is disclosed a medical tube for insertion into the body of a patient. The medical tube includes a tube or device suitable for insertion into the patient's body, and a permanent magnet associated therewith. The magnet may be solid or non-solid, and may be rigid or non-rigid. In one embodiment, the magnet is hollow and associated with the medical tube such that the tube may be used for its intended purposes. In another embodiment, the magnet is solid and, after insertion into the body of the patient, is displaced such that it does not interfere with the intended use of the medical tube. In a further embodiment, the magnet is removable after placement of the medical tube.
