Akacia Suction Catheter 10fg Black
Akacia Suction Catheter 10FG (10Fr) – Black
Akacia 10FG suction catheter (10 French) in black is a sterile, single-use airway suction catheter designed for efficient and gentle removal of respiratory secretions. Engineered for respiratory therapists, nurses and clinicians, this flexible PVC catheter offers smooth drainage, kink resistance and a standard 15 mm connector for easy attachment to suction systems. Ideal for neonatal and pediatric airway management as well as adult oropharyngeal suctioning where a smaller-gauge catheter is required.
Key Benefits
- Sterile, single-use design reduces infection risk and cross-contamination.
- Flexible, kink-resistant construction for reliable suctioning in narrow airways.
- Smooth, rounded atraumatic tip and lateral eyes for safe, effective secretion removal.
- Standard 15 mm connector for universal compatibility with suction equipment.
- Compact 10FG (10 French) size—suitable for neonatal, pediatric and specific adult applications.
- Latex-free medical-grade materials for patient safety and comfort.
Ingredients and Materials
Manufactured from medical-grade, biocompatible PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or silicone (product-specific; check packaging) that is latex-free and non-toxic. Features a smooth, rounded atraumatic tip with multiple lateral suction eyes and a standard 15 mm universal connector. Sterile, single-use packaging to maintain asepsis.
How to Use
- Perform hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE.
- Check the sterile packaging integrity; open using aseptic technique.
- Connect catheter to suction tubing (15 mm connector) and set suction pressure per institutional protocol (lower pressures for neonates/pediatrics).
- Gently insert catheter into the airway—do not apply suction while inserting.
- Apply intermittent suction while withdrawing the catheter, rotating gently to clear secretions.
- Dispose of catheter immediately after use in a clinical waste container. Do not reuse.
Who It’s For
Designed for healthcare professionals in respiratory therapy, critical care, emergency medicine, anesthesia and nursing. The 10FG size is ideal for neonatal and pediatric patients, small adult airways requiring a smaller-gauge catheter, and clinical settings where precise, gentle suctioning is needed.
Caution & Storage
Caution: For single use only. Do not reuse or resterilize. Inspect packaging before use—do not use if seal is broken or damaged. Avoid excessive suction duration or pressure to reduce risk of mucosal injury. Use appropriate suction settings for patient age and condition. Follow local clinical protocols and infection control guidelines.
Storage: Store in original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of reach of children. Do not autoclave or expose to strong solvents. Check expiry date before use.
Manufacturer Note: Product labelling and specifications may vary by batch—confirm materials and regulatory information on the package. For clinical questions, consult institutional protocols or the device manufacturer.
