Description
The Sterimed Suction Catheter with Thumb Control is a medical device designed for the removal of secretions from the mouth, trachea, and bronchial tubes. It is manufactured from non-toxic, medical-grade PVC. The thumb control valve provides a mechanism for intermittent suction, allowing the user to regulate the application of vacuum pressure. This device is intended for use in various clinical settings to help maintain airway patency.
Thumb Control Valve: Features a thumb control port to allow for regulated and intermittent application of suction.
Medical-Grade Material: Constructed from non-toxic, non-irritant medical-grade PVC for patient safety.
Atraumatic Tip: The catheter is designed with a smooth, rounded tip to reduce the risk of injury to mucous membranes during insertion.
Clear Markings: Some models may feature graduation marks for accurate placement depth.
Universal Connector: The proximal end has a funnel-shaped connector for a secure and easy connection to standard suction equipment.
Q: What is the primary use of this suction catheter?
A: This suction catheter is intended for the removal of bodily secretions like mucus or saliva from the upper airway, including the mouth, trachea, and bronchial tubes.
Q: What does the 'Thumb Control' feature do?
A: The thumb control feature is a valve that allows the person operating it to regulate the intensity of the suction by covering or uncovering a hole on the connector.
Q: What does 'FG-8' signify?
A: 'FG' stands for French Gauge, which is a scale used to measure the outer diameter of a catheter. '8' is the specific size on this scale, and different sizes are often color-coded for easy identification.
Q: Is this product sterile and for single-use?
A: Yes, the catheter is supplied in a sterile, individually packed peel-pouch and is intended for single use only to reduce the risk of infection.
