Tracheotomy Closed Suction Catheter enables clinicians to clear unwanted mucus build-up from the airways of ventilated or tracheostomy patients without the need to disconnect the patient from the ventilator or aerosol source. The catheter is protected inside a sleeve and is usually changed only once a day to improve patient and caregiver safety during routine suctioning and catheter cleaning.

Features

• Tracheostomy length
• One-way lavage/irrigation port
• Dual swivel elbow stay connected to the patient during the catheter change, which reduces strain on ventilator tubing
• Superior tactile sleeve allows excellent feel for accurate catheter manipulation
• Clear depth markings help to reduce mucosal trauma and infection potential by allowing the practitioner to limit the distance of catheter advance for safe suctioning
• Color coded control valve provides easy identification of the catheter size at a glance
• Lockable thumb end cap prevents inadvertent suctioning
• Day-of-the-week stickers to help monitor length of use
• Sterile and latex-free
