Suction Catheter
KSh 23.00
Suction Catheter
It is a medical device used to remove secretions, fluids, or mucus from a patient’s airway, typically when they are unable to clear their own airways effectively due to illness, surgery, or respiratory distress. Suction catheters are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings for patients who require airway management, such as those with chronic respiratory conditions, post-operative recovery, or acute respiratory illnesses.
Key Features and Components:
Flexible Tube: The suction catheter consists of a long, flexible tube that is inserted into the patient’s airway (nose, mouth, or tracheostomy). The flexibility allows the catheter to navigate the airway with ease.
Suction Port: At the opposite end of the catheter, a suction port is connected to a suction machine or suction pump that creates negative pressure, drawing out fluids or mucus from the airway.
Tip Design: The tip of the suction catheter is typically rounded or has multiple openings to ensure effective suction while minimizing tissue trauma. Some catheters may have a side-hole design for better fluid removal.
Sizes and Lengths: Suction catheters come in various sizes (diameter and length) to accommodate patients of different ages, sizes, and medical conditions. The size is typically chosen based on the patient’s airway size and the type of suction required.
Sterile Packaging: Suction catheters are typically provided in sterile packaging to minimize the risk of infection. Some models are single-use, while others may be reusable after proper cleaning and sterilization.
