Suction Catheter 12Fr (12fg) — White, Sterile Disposable

Our 12Fr suction catheter (12fg) in white is a sterile, single-use airway suctioning catheter designed for reliable secretion removal in hospital, clinic and homecare settings. Engineered for flexibility and atraumatic insertion, this disposable suction catheter supports efficient tracheostomy and oropharyngeal suctioning while minimising patient discomfort.

Key Benefits

  • Optimal size: 12Fr (12fg) provides effective suction capacity for pediatric and adult care where moderate lumen size is required.
  • Sterile & disposable: Single-use to reduce infection risk and cross-contamination in clinical and home environments.
  • Flexible with soft, atraumatic tip: Smooth insertion and reduced mucosal trauma during suctioning procedures.
  • Universal connector: Compatible with standard suction tubing and suction units for quick setup.
  • Clear markings: Gauge identification for fast selection and inventory control.
Ingredients and Materials

Made from medical-grade materials commonly used in suction catheters: flexible, biocompatible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or medical-grade polyurethane depending on batch. Sterile packaged, latex-free and free from phthalates where specified. Manufactured to meet sterile single-use medical device standards for suctioning and airway management.

How to Use
  1. Follow local clinical protocols and wash hands or don gloves. Ensure suction unit is set to appropriate pressure.
  2. Remove catheter from sterile packaging without contaminating the tip. Attach to suction tubing securely.
  3. For oropharyngeal or tracheostomy suctioning, gently insert catheter without applying suction. For closed systems, follow device-specific guidance.
  4. Apply intermittent suction while withdrawing the catheter with a rotating motion; do not exceed recommended suction times (typically 10–15 seconds per pass).
  5. Discard catheter after single use following biohazard waste protocols.
Who It’s For

Intended for health-care professionals and trained caregivers providing airway suctioning for patients with tracheostomies, endotracheal tubes, or those unable to clear secretions independently. Suitable for hospital wards, emergency care, outpatient clinics, long-term care and home respiratory care.

Caution & Storage

Caution: For single use only. Do not reuse, resterilize or modify. Use only under appropriate clinical supervision and follow facility suctioning protocols. Avoid deep suctioning beyond clinical recommendations to reduce risk of hypoxia or trauma. Inspect packaging for damage before use — do not use if sterile barrier is compromised.

Storage: Keep in original sterile packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Store at manufacturer-recommended temperature range and use before the expiry date printed on packaging. Dispose of as clinical/biohazard waste after use.
