Suction Catheter
Usage
Product Description
A suction catheter is a flexible, sterile tube that is inserted into the airway to remove secretions. The catheter is attached to a suction machine that creates a vacuum to extract the unwanted materials from the airway. The catheter is designed to be soft and flexible to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of injury to the patient. It comes in various sizes to accommodate different patient needs and can be used for both oral and tracheal suctioning. The catheters are typically single-use to maintain sterility and prevent infection.

| Usage | A suction catheter is used to clear the airway of mucus, saliva, blood, or other secretions to ensure the patient can breathe freely. It is commonly used in medical settings, including hospitals and clinics, for patients who have difficulty clearing their own airway due to illness, injury, or surgery. It is an essential tool in respiratory therapy and critical care. |
