Medical Disposable PVC Suction Catheter

Medical Disposable PVC Suction Catheter

A Disposable PVC Suction Catheter is a sterile, single-use medical device used to remove respiratory secretions (such as mucus, blood, or vomit) from the airway to maintain clear breathing passages. It is commonly used in critical care settings, during anesthesia, or in patients who cannot clear their own secretions effectively.

Applications:

Airway Clearance: Used to remove mucus, blood, or secretions from the trachea, bronchi, or oropharynx in patients with impaired ability to cough.

Pre- and Post-operative Care: Keeps the airway clear during and after surgical procedures, especially during intubation.

ICU & Emergency Use: Essential in intensive care, emergency, and home care settings where airway management is critical.

Tracheostomy and Endotracheal Tube Care: Suitable for suctioning through tracheostomy or endotracheal tubes.

Features:

Material: Made from medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the catheter is flexible, non-toxic, and non-irritant, ensuring patient comfort and safety.

Smooth Surface & Rounded Tip: Minimizes mucosal trauma during insertion and removal;  enhances patient comfort.

Multiple Lateral Eyes (Holes): Typically two or more side holes near the distal tip provide efficient suctioning with minimal tissue trauma.

Length & Sizes: Available in various French gauge sizes (typically 6Fr to 18Fr) and standard lengths (usually around 50 cm), suitable for neonates, pediatrics, and adults.

Sterile & Disposable: Each catheter is individually packed and sterilized for single-use only, reducing the risk of cross-contamination or infection.

Finger Control Valve (Optional): Some models include a thumb control/vent for intermittent suction control, allowing better management during the procedure.

Specifications:

Advantages:

Patient Safety: Being single-use and sterile greatly reduces infection risk.

Flexible Design: Easily navigates through the airway without causing damage.

Clear Tubing: Transparent construction allows visualization of aspirated secretions.

Cost-Effective: Economical option for routine airway management and suctioning.
