Closed System Disposable Suction Catheter Length 40cm Durable PVC

1.The product is made of high quality medical PVC.

2.Soft Blue tip design reduces irritation and damage to the tracheal mucosa.

3.The product uses several closed designs and additional cleaning function. It can effectively avoid the risk of caregiver being infected by the air exhaled by the patient during the treatment process.

4.In clinical use, the flushing port with a one-way valve design to prevent liquid reflux after flushing.

5.This design makes the Closed Suction Catheter tube more convenient, safety and easier to operate by caregiver.

6.The black indicator line indicates the position of the withdrawal suction tube to avoid the ETT airway block.

7.Closed Suction Catheter should be free of sensitization and mucosal irritation, the Cytotoxicity is not more than level 2. The products will 8.Sterilization by EO.

Structural differences between closed suction catheter and open PVC suction tubes
1. The open ordinary sputum suction tube has a simple structure and is composed of two parts: the suction tube and the machine end connector. It is easy to operate and is currently the main method of suction used in clinical practice.

2. A closed suction catheter consists of three parts: the patient end, the suction tube body, and the machine end. The patient end is connected to artificial airway and mechanical ventilation, and can also complete medication injection operations; The suction tube body is composed of a suction tube and a plastic film, which isolates the pipeline from the outside world; The machine end is connected to the suction machine end to complete negative pressure operation, which is currently a recommended sputum suction method in clinical practice.

Advantages of closed suction compared to open regular suction catheter
1. Improve the work efficiency of nursing staff.

For mechanically ventilated patients, the open regular suction tube must disconnect the ventilator pipeline when aspirating phlegm; The closed sputum suction operation is simple, convenient, time-saving, and does not require disconnecting the ventilator, reducing the workload of nurses and improving work efficiency.

2. Enable ventilatored patients to maintain normal oxygen supply and ventilation during sputum suction, better preventing hypoxemia and maintaining hemodynamic stability [3].

When using an open suction catheter for sputum suction, the ventilator needs to be disconnected, temporarily interrupting the patient's oxygen supply and increasing the incidence of hypoxemia [4]. Closed suction has a lower impact on patient blood oxygen than open suction, as it does not disconnect the ventilator and does not interrupt oxygen supply and ventilation, avoiding alveolar collapse caused by interrupted ventilation.

3. Controlling infection is beneficial for reducing the occurrence of ventilator pneumonia (VAP).
Open suction catheter are prone to cross infection and increase the incidence of ventilator pneumonia (VAP) due to non-standard sterile operation. Due to the airtightness of its structure, the operating process of a sealed sputum suction tube can effectively reduce the incidence of contamination of the surrounding environment, patients, and medical personnel, and reduce cross infection in the hospital.

4. Reduce the risk of medical personnel coming into contact with patient droplets and secretions.
Open suctioning tubes can easily cause patients to cough, eject sputum, and cause medical occupational injuries. The closed sputum suction operation is carried out under closed conditions, avoiding the contamination of secretions on medical personnel, patients, and items, and enhancing the safety of medical care work.

Compared with open suction catheter, closed suction catheter are beneficial for reducing the fear of suction in conscious patients.
Compared with open suction catheter, closed suction catheter have a longer usage time, reduce the generation of medical waste, and help reduce the cost of medical waste treatment.
