Each catheter is designed for single-use to prevent cross-contamination and ensure patient safety.

Key Benefits

• Effective secretion removal: Designed for efficient aspiration of respiratory secretions, aiding in maintaining clear airways.
• Atraumatic tip: Soft, rounded distal tip reduces the risk of tissue trauma during insertion.
• Universal connector: Ensures compatibility with a wide range of suction machines and apparatus.
• Sterile and single-use: Guarantees patient safety and prevents the spread of infection.
• High-quality material: Made from medical-grade, non-toxic PVC, ensuring flexibility and durability.
• Clear markings: Allows for precise positioning and depth control during the procedure.
• Optimal size (FG 16): Suitable for effective suctioning in various clinical scenarios.

How to Use

1. Ensure sterile technique: Wash hands thoroughly and put on sterile gloves.
2. Prepare equipment: Connect the ANGIPLAST Suction Catheter to the suction machine tubing.
3. Check suction pressure: Set the suction pressure according to institutional guidelines and patient needs (typically 80-120 mmHg for adults).
4. Lubricate the catheter: Dip the tip of the catheter in sterile water or saline to lubricate it, if necessary.
5. Insert the catheter: Gently insert the catheter through the patient's nostril, mouth, or tracheostomy tube, guiding it until resistance is met or secretions are encountered. Do not apply suction during insertion.
6. Apply suction: Once in position, apply intermittent suction by occluding the vent (if a control valve is present) and slowly withdrawing the catheter with a rotating motion.
7. Withdraw and clear: Withdraw the catheter completely. Flush the catheter with sterile water or saline between passes to clear secretions.
8. Monitor patient: Observe the patient for signs of distress, oxygen saturation, and effectiveness of suctioning.
9. Dispose: Discard the used catheter and gloves in a biohazard waste receptacle after each use.

Caution & Warnings

• For single-use only. Do not re-sterilize or reuse.
• Use immediately after opening the sterile package.
• Do not apply continuous suction during insertion to avoid mucosal damage.
• Monitor patient vital signs and oxygen saturation during and after the procedure.
• If resistance is met during insertion, do not force the catheter. Withdraw and reassess.
• Ensure appropriate suction pressure settings to prevent trauma.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
