Akacia Suction Catheter 08fg Blue 1 Unit
Akacia Suction Catheter 08Fr (8FG) — Blue, 1 Unit
Reliable, single-use suctioning for safe airway clearance. The Akacia 08Fr suction catheter (8FG) is a sterile, flexible catheter designed for effective respiratory suctioning in neonatal, pediatric and adult care settings. Color-coded blue for fast size identification, this catheter delivers gentle mucosal protection and dependable performance for tracheostomy, endotracheal and oral suctioning.
Key Benefits
- Sterile, single-use design reduces cross-contamination and infection risk.
- 08Fr (8FG) size — ideal for neonatal and pediatric airway suctioning and select adult uses.
- Flexible, atraumatic rounded tip and smooth lumen for gentle suctioning and minimized mucosal trauma.
- Color-coded blue for quick size identification in busy clinical settings.
- Compatible with standard suction tubing and connectors for easy use in hospitals, clinics and homecare.
Ingredients and Materials
Medical-grade, latex-free materials (typically PVC) with a smooth, atraumatic rounded distal tip and distal eye(s) for effective suction flow. Manufactured to meet clinical safety standards for single-use sterile respiratory devices. Free from natural rubber latex to reduce allergic risk.
How to Use
Follow your facility protocol. General steps: ensure correct suction pressure and sterile technique. Connect catheter to suction tubing, briefly occlude suction to confirm function, pre-oxygenate patient if required, gently insert catheter without suction to measured depth or until resistance, apply suction only while withdrawing catheter, limit suction time (typically under 10–15 seconds), monitor patient throughout. Dispose of catheter after single use. Training and clinical judgment are required.
Who It’s For
Intended for healthcare professionals — respiratory therapists, nurses, paramedics, and trained caregivers — performing airway suctioning in hospitals, clinics, emergency services and homecare. Suitable for neonatal and pediatric patients requiring an 08Fr suction catheter; confirm size appropriateness for each patient and device.
Caution & Storage
Single-use sterile device — do not reuse. Inspect packaging before use; do not use if seal is broken or product is damaged. Do not autoclave or attempt to re-sterilize. Use with appropriate suction pressure and clinical supervision to avoid trauma or hypoxia. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Follow local disposal regulations for medical waste.
