Key Benefits

• Effective Airway Clearance: Rapidly removes mucus and other secretions to maintain patent airways.
• Enhanced Patient Comfort: Features a smooth, rounded tip designed for gentle insertion, minimizing discomfort and potential tissue trauma.
• Reduced Risk of Complications: Helps prevent respiratory distress, atelectasis, and aspiration pneumonia by keeping airways clear.
• Sterile and Safe: Individually packaged and sterilized for single-use, ensuring maximum hygiene and patient safety.
• Reliable Performance: Constructed from medical-grade materials, offering consistent and effective suctioning capabilities.

How to Use

1. Preparation: Gather all necessary equipment including the KBM Suction Catheter Size 24, suction machine, collection canister, sterile gloves, and saline.
2. Hand Hygiene & Donning PPE: Perform thorough hand hygiene and don sterile gloves.
3. Connect to Suction: Connect the catheter to the suction tubing from the suction machine, ensuring a secure fit.
4. Test Suction: Occlude the control port (if present) to check suction pressure.
5. Insert Catheter: Gently insert the catheter into the patient's airway (trachea or endotracheal tube) without applying suction.
6. Apply Suction & Withdraw: Once at the desired depth, apply intermittent suction by occluding the control port and slowly withdraw the catheter with a rotating motion. The suctioning time should not exceed 10-15 seconds per pass.
7. Clear Catheter: Flush the catheter with sterile saline between passes to clear secretions.
8. Repeat as Needed: Repeat the procedure if necessary, allowing for adequate oxygenation between passes.
9. Disposal: Dispose of the used catheter and other contaminated materials safely in accordance with medical waste protocols.
