KBM Suction Catheters Size 20

KBM Suction Catheters Size 20 are advanced medical devices meticulously engineered for the efficient and gentle aspiration of respiratory secretions.

These sterile, single-use catheters are crucial for maintaining clear airways, thereby supporting optimal respiratory function in patients across diverse clinical environments.

Developed with patient comfort and safety in mind, they feature a smooth, atraumatic tip designed to minimize tissue irritation during insertion and withdrawal.

As referenced on leading e-commerce platforms like Nahdi Online, , and , these catheters are a trusted choice for healthcare professionals seeking reliable airway management solutions.

Benefits of Use:

• Facilitates efficient removal of thick or thin respiratory secretions, preventing airway obstruction.
• Helps maintain clear and patent airways, improving oxygenation and ventilation.
• Designed for single-use to minimize the risk of cross-contamination and infection.
• Features a soft, rounded tip and smooth edges for gentle insertion and reduced trauma to mucosal lining.
• Sterile packaging ensures aseptic technique during critical medical procedures.

How to Use:

1. 1. Verify the catheter size (Size 20) is appropriate for the patient's age and clinical condition, following physician's orders.
2. 2. Perform thorough hand hygiene and don sterile gloves before opening the package.
3. 3. Open the sterile peel-pack carefully, maintaining aseptic technique, and remove the catheter.
4. 4. Attach the proximal end of the catheter to a suction source, ensuring a secure connection.
5. 5. Gently insert the catheter into the patient's airway (tracheal tube, tracheostomy tube, or nasopharynx/oropharynx) without applying suction.
6. 6. Once in position, apply intermittent suction by occluding the vent, withdrawing the catheter slowly while rotating it.
7. 7. Limit suction time to 10-15 seconds to prevent hypoxia and mucosal damage.
8. 8. Discard the used catheter and gloves in an appropriate biohazard waste receptacle after each use.
9. 9. Repeat the procedure as necessary, using a new sterile catheter for each suction pass.

Caution & Warnings:

• Sterility Assurance: Do not use if the sterile package is opened, damaged, or expired.
