Mdevices Suction Catheter – round Tip “Y” Type Control Vent Box of 50 – All Sizes

The Mdevices Suction Catheter – round Tip “Y” Type Control Vent Box of 50 – All Sizes is a vital clinical tool designed to facilitate the safe and efficient clearance of bronchial secretions when a patient cannot clear their own airway. Recognizing that patient comfort and procedural safety are paramount, Mdevices has engineered this suction catheter with a rounded distal tip and a closed-end design, minimizing mucosal trauma during insertion. Whether used in neonatal, pediatric, or adult care, this system offers the control and quality required for superior airway management.

Why Choose This Product?

Clinicians rely on the Mdevices Suction Catheter – round Tip “Y” Type Control Vent Box of 50 – All Sizes for its exceptional balance of control and safety. The “Y” type vent allows for intuitive, one-handed suction regulation, giving the operator complete command over vacuum pressure. Furthermore, the inclusion of incremental measurement markings starting 4cm from the distal tip allows for precise depth control, which is essential when navigating delicate tracheal anatomy. By choosing this multi-length, multi-gauge solution, your facility ensures standardized, high-quality airway clearance protocols across all patient demographics.

Key Features & Benefits

• Optimized Tip Design: Features a smooth, closed distal end with bilateral eyelets to facilitate effective suction while reducing the risk of tissue snagging or trauma.

• Precise Suction Control: The “Y” type control vent allows clinicians to easily regulate suction intensity, ensuring patient safety during the secretion removal process.

• Clinical Clarity: Manufactured from soft, clear tubing with highly visible incremental markings for accurate depth verification.

• Universal Compatibility: Equipped with a stepped connector that attaches effortlessly to standard suction tubing setups.

• Comprehensive Range: Available in various lengths (100mm, 380mm, and 560mm) and French gauge sizes (5Fr to 18Fr) to meet diverse clinical needs.

• Value & Convenience: Supplied in a bulk box of 50 individually sterile-packed catheters, optimizing inventory management for busy medical units.

Ideal Use Cases

• Intensive Care Units (ICU): Essential for ventilated patients requiring frequent clearance of airway debris.

• Emergency Medicine: A critical component for rapid airway management and trauma response.

• Post-Operative Care: Facilitates airway patency in patients recovering from general anaesthesia or tracheostomies.

• Home-Care Nursing: Provides a professional-grade solution for long-term respiratory management in home settings.

Directions for Use

1. Preparation: Select the appropriate catheter size (usually half the internal diameter of the endotracheal tube). Verify the integrity of the sterile packaging.

2. Setup: Connect the stepped connector to the suction tubing and ensure the suction machine is set to the correct pressure.

3. Insertion: Without applying suction, gently insert the catheter into the endotracheal or tracheostomy tube to the desired depth, using the incremental markings as a guide.

4. Suctioning: Apply suction by covering the “Y” control vent, then slowly withdraw the catheter using a rotating motion. Do not exceed 10–15 seconds per suctioning event.

5. Disposal: Dispose of the used catheter according to institutional infectious waste protocols.

Important Safety/Storage Information

• Sterility: This is a single-use sterile device. Do not use if the package is opened or damaged.

• Avoid Trauma: Never force the catheter against resistance. Always maintain a gentle approach to prevent tracheal mucosal damage.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep away from direct sunlight and sharp objects that could compromise the sterile packaging.

• Clinical Oversight: Ensure that the suction pressure is set according to hospital guidelines to prevent hypoxia or mucosal suction injury.
