The closed suction catheter is designed for airway suctioning in clinical units, for patients who need suctioning, operated by professional medical staff. Its closed design means suctioning can be performed without disconnecting the ventilator circuit. A protective sleeve separates the catheter from the environment, and the unit carries a cleaning tube and a cleaning valve.
The manufacturer's instructions for use list 11 variants with sizes from 5Fr to 16Fr, including variants for endotracheal tubes and tracheostomy tubes, pediatric variants, and self-locking and double-position switch types. See the closed suction catheter detail page for the full variant table, storage conditions, and use warnings.
What to confirm before ordering
- Confirm the variant and size for your patient group and tube type.
- Confirm the switch type and connector configuration.
- Confirm packaging, quantities, and the applicable registration requirements.
