Tracheotomy Closed Suction Catheter enables clinicians to clear unwanted mucus build-up from the airways of ventilated or tracheostomy patients without the need to disconnect the patient from the ventilator or aerosol source. The catheter is protected inside a sleeve and is usually changed only once a day to improve patient and caregiver safety during routine suctioning and catheter cleaning. Features Tracheostomy length One-way lavage/irrigation port Dual swivel elbow stay connected to the patient during the catheter change, which reduces strain on ventilator tubing Superior tactile sleeve allows excellent feel for accurate catheter manipulation Clear depth markings help to reduce mucosal trauma and infection potential by allowing the practitioner to limit the distance of catheter advance for safe suctioning Color coded control valve provides easy identification of the catheter size at a glance Lockable thumb end cap prevents inadvertent suctioning Day-of-the-week stickers to help monitor length of use Sterile and latex-free
