Ingredients and Materials
Made from medical-grade PVC or polyurethane (latex-free) that is biocompatible and non-toxic. Sterile, single-use construction with a smooth rounded tip and side eyelets (as applicable) to facilitate efficient secretion removal while minimizing mucosal trauma. Packaged sterile to maintain product integrity.
How to Use
Follow institutional protocols and local clinical guidelines. Connect catheter to suction tubing and the suction source. Pre-oxygenate the patient if indicated. Insert the catheter gently without suction until secretions are encountered, then apply suction while withdrawing with a controlled rotating motion. Limit individual suction passes to short intervals (commonly <15 seconds) and monitor patient response and vitals. Dispose of catheter after a single use in accordance with biohazard regulations.
Who It’s For
Intended for use by trained healthcare professionals including respiratory therapists, nurses, paramedics, emergency responders, surgical teams and trained caregivers performing airway suctioning in hospitals, ambulances, clinics and supervised homecare environments.
Caution & Storage
For single-use only. Do not use if sterile packaging is opened or damaged. Do not reuse. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Follow facility infection control policies and local disposal regulations for biohazardous waste. Not a substitute for professional medical training — use only by trained personnel.
