Product Description
Suction catheters are flexible, long tubes used to remove respiratory secretions from the airway. The purpose of suctioning is to keep the airway clear of secretions and to prevent plugging. One end of our suction catheter is connected to a collection container (suction canister) and a device that generates suction. The open end is advanced through the airway (Endotracheal or Tracheostomy Tube) to remove secretions.

FAQ's of Suction Catheter:
Q: How do you properly use the suction catheter for respiratory suctioning?
A: To use, connect the universal connector to the suction device, insert the round closed tip gently into the patient's airway, and follow depth markings for accurate placement. Apply thumb control if present, and proceed with gentle suctioning to clear mucus. Dispose of the catheter after single use.
Q: What are the advantages of choosing this suction catheter over others?
A: Our catheter is crafted from high-quality, latex-free medical-grade PVC, is EO sterilized, and fully disposable, providing reliability, patient safety, and reducing infection risk. Depth markings, color-coded sizes, and flexible tubing enhance procedure precision and comfort.
Q: When should the suction catheter be replaced during medical procedures?
A: This suction catheter is intended strictly for single use. After each procedure, promptly dispose of it to maintain sterility and prevent cross-contamination. Always use a new, sterile catheter for every patient or procedure.
Q: Where should the suction catheter be stored before use?
A: Store the individually packed catheter in a cool or dry area, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always check the expiration date marked on the packaging before opening and using the catheter.
Q: What steps ensure compliance with quality and safety standards?
A: Each catheter complies with CE and ISO 13485 certifications and undergoes EO sterilization. Packaging includes clear labeling of expiration dates, shelf life, and size. All materials used are medical-grade and meet international safety requirements.
Q: What are the benefits of the color-coded and depth-marked design?
A: Color coding allows quick identification of the correct French size, and depth markings enable precise insertion. These features support safer, more effective airway suctioning, minimizing errors during procedures.
Q: Can these suction catheters be customized for specific clinical needs?
A: Yes, OEM and ODM customization services are available, enabling clinicians and institutions to order catheters tailored to their specifications without compromising quality or compliance.
