Product Description
Suction Catheter is used for airway clearance in patients requiring mechanical ventilation via endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes. It enables controlled suctioning to remove mucus, secretions, and fluids, helping maintain airway patency and reduce the risk of respiratory complications.
Manufactured from high-quality biocompatible PVC, the catheter features a smooth, atraumatic closed distal end with two lateral eyes to ensure efficient suctioning while minimizing mucosal trauma. The kink-resistant tubing includes a radio-opaque line for X-ray visualization. Available with finger-tip control, thumb control, or standard connector options, the catheter is color-coded for easy size identification and supplied sterile for single-use safety.
