Mdevices Suction Cath – Medium Packaging Open Tip “Y” Type Control Vent Box of 50 – All Sizes

Effective airway management requires medical consumables that are reliable, highly controllable, and designed with rigorous infection control in mind. The Mdevices Suction Cath – Medium Packaging Open Tip “Y” Type Control Vent Box of 50 – All Sizes provides healthcare professionals with an advanced, clinical-grade solution for clearing secretions. Available across a comprehensive range of diameters and lengths, this box of 50 suction catheters ensures that your facility is fully stocked and prepared to treat both pediatric and adult patients safely and efficiently.

Why Choose This Product?

Maintaining a strict aseptic technique is critical during endotracheal and tracheostomy suctioning to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). m|devices addresses this challenge by incorporating a unique inner sleeve with tear-off perforations, allowing the clinician to insert the catheter without directly touching the tube. Furthermore, the integrated “Y” type control vent grants the provider precise, fingertip control over the suction vacuum, preventing mucosal trauma. Recognizing the spatial constraints of modern clinical environments, these catheters are supplied in medium-style packaging, significantly reducing clutter in crash carts, jump bags, and crowded supply rooms.

Key Features & Benefits

• “Y” Type Control Vent: Allows the user to easily toggle and regulate suction pressure with a single finger, ensuring safe, atraumatic secretion removal.

• Atraumatic Open Tip: Features a smooth, open distal end paired with an elliptical eye to maximize suction efficacy while minimizing the risk of tissue damage.

• Aseptic Inner Sleeve: The built-in perforated inner sleeve acts as a sterile barrier, facilitating a “no-touch” insertion technique.

• Clear Medical-Grade PVC: Manufactured from non-toxic, transparent PVC, enabling clinicians to visually assess the color, consistency, and volume of the extracted secretions.

• Versatile Sizing Options: Available in various diameters to accommodate both pediatric and adult patients, with specific lengths of 100mm, 380mm, and 560mm to suit diverse clinical needs.

• Optimized Medium Packaging: Carefully packaged to minimize footprint, making it ideal for facilities where storage space is at a premium.

Ideal Use Cases

• Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Emergency Departments (ED) requiring frequent airway clearance.

• Patients with endotracheal tubes or tracheostomies requiring routine suctioning.

• Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and transport teams needing compact, medium-packaged supplies.

• Post-operative recovery wards and specialized pediatric or neonatal care units.

Directions for Use

1. Perform proper hand hygiene and don appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) before beginning the procedure.

2. Open the medium packaging and attach the “Y” control vent end of the catheter to the suction source tubing.

3. Utilize the tear-off perforations on the inner sleeve to handle the catheter, maintaining strict aseptic technique.

4. Insert the catheter gently into the endotracheal or tracheostomy tube without applying suction.

5. Once at the desired depth, apply suction by placing your thumb over the “Y” type control vent port.

6. Slowly withdraw the catheter using a continuous, rotating motion to clear secretions efficiently.

Important Safety & Storage Information

• Storage: Store the box of 50 catheters in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and moisture to preserve the integrity of the medical-grade PVC.

• Single-Use Only: These suction catheters are strictly designed for single-patient, single-use to prevent cross-contamination and the spread of infectious pathogens.

• Disposal: Safely discard the used catheter and its packaging in an approved clinical waste receptacle immediately after the suctioning procedure is complete, in accordance with your facility’s biohazard protocols.
