Faqs:
How does the 72H Closed Suction Catheter help prevent infections in ventilated patients?
The catheter retracts into an isolated turbulent cleaning chamber after use, which effectively cleanses it and reduces bacterial colonization, thereby lowering the risks of Ventilator-Associated Events (VAE) and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP).
What are the key design features that minimize patient tissue damage?
The catheter features a unique blue soft tip that is designed to be gentle on patient tissues during suctioning, reducing the risk of trauma while still allowing effective irrigational cleaning.
Can this catheter be used with both endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes?
Yes, the 72H Closed Suction Catheter is designed for dual application and is available in specific sizes and lengths suitable for both endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes, providing flexibility in clinical use.
How does the automatic flushing feature work?
The automatic flushing design ensures the catheter is retracted into a turbulent cleaning chamber after each use, where a cleansing action occurs, helping to keep the catheter clean and ready for the next procedure without manual intervention.
