Product Overview 

Suction Catheters

A crucial piece of medical equipment used to clear the airways of a patient with any kind of secretion, such as mucus, blood, or any other liquid, is a suction catheter. They help in the clearance of airways and breathing, especially in patients who are unable to clear their secretions on their own.

They are commonly found in hospitals, ICUs, emergency departments, ambulances, and home health care, especially in tracheostomy and ventilator-dependent patients.

The suction catheters are produced with soft yet medical-grade materials that are safe, comfortable, and effective. 

They are of various sizes and types, like open and closed suction systems. It is highly important to make the correct choice and use it to prevent complications such as infection, airway damage, or oxygen desaturation. Up-to-date suction catheter systems are known to enhance infection prevention, lessen handling hazards and aid effective respiratory treatments.

How to Calculate Suction Catheter Size for Tracheostomy

• Airway suctioning should be performed safely and efficiently with a choice of suction catheter size.
• A clinical guideline suggests that the outer catheter size of the suction catheter should not exceed half the inner size of the tracheostomy tube.
• Under this recommendation, it will ensure that there is appropriate airflow in the suctioning process.
• The French (Fr) scale is widely used by healthcare workers to approximate and choose the right catheter size according to the size of the tracheostomy tube.
• The catheter must possess sufficient flexibility to clear the secretions while ensuring unobstructed oxygen flow to the patient.
• The right choice of sizes will contribute to the preservation of the balance between effective suctioning and safe breathing assistance.
• Improper sizing may cause severe complications, which include the following:

• Hypoxia (low oxygen levels)
• Airway irritation
• Mucosal damage

• Learning to determine suction catheter size to use during tracheostomy is important to patient safety.
• Proper sizing enhances oxygenation and facilitates respiratory care both in hospital and home-based settings.

How to Use Suction Catheter Kit

A suction catheter kit consists of catheter tubing, sterile gloves, a suction connector, and saline solution.

Basic steps include:

• Maintain sterile conditions

• Attach the suction machine to the catheter.

• Gently insert without suction.

• Apply suction while withdrawing

• Reduce procedure time to 10-15 seconds.

Technique helps avoid infection and provides efficient clearance of airways.

Nurses, carers, and respiratory therapists must know how to use suction catheter kits.

How to Use a Closed Suction Catheter

A suction catheter kit consists of catheter tubing, sterile gloves, a suction connector, and saline solution.

Basic steps include:

• Maintain sterile conditions

• Attach the suction machine to the catheter.

• Gently insert without suction.

• Apply suction while withdrawing

• Reduce procedure time to 10-15 seconds.

Proper technique that prevents infection aids effective airway clearance. Nurses, care providers, and respiratory therapists need to be educated on how to use suction catheter kits properly.

How Long to Insert a Suction Catheter

The duration of the insertion of the suction catheter must be until the correct depth of the airway and not a specific duration. Practically, it is progressed carefully until some resistance is experienced or the pre-selected safe depth is met, e.g., the end of the tracheostomy tube or immediately above the carina.

When the catheter is in place, one should not perform suction when inserting it. Rather, suction is done as the catheter is withdrawn gradually.

The overall time of suctioning must be short, typically 10–15 seconds or even shorter, to prevent the loss of oxygen, airway trauma, and discomfort for the patient. In case of increased suction, the patient can be given time to rest and reoxygenate, and then the procedure can be repeated.

In short:

• Install to the appropriate airway depth.
• Never suction when inserting.
• Restrict each suction attempt to 10-15 seconds.
• Give time between passes.

Single-Use vs Multi-Use Closed Suction Catheter Systems: Key Differences

Single-Use (Disposable) Suction Catheter

• Designed to be used only once and then discarded.
• Commonly used in open suction systems.
• The patient needs to be disconnected from the ventilator during suctioning.
• Reduced chance of patient-to-patient cross-contamination.
• Less expensive and can be used short-term or at low frequency.
• Always requires aseptic technique.

Multi-Use Closed Suction Catheter System

• Intended to be used repeatedly throughout 2472 hours or more based on hospital guidelines.
• It is closed; the patient is attached to the ventilator as they are being suctioned.
• Minimises loss of oxygen and supports ventilation.
• Reduced chances of environmental pollution in the process.
• While it may be expensive initially, it proves to be effective for ICU and ventilated patients.
• Catheter is wiped inside the sheath after every use.

Key Difference Summary:

• Disposable system: single use, open system, less expensive per unit, more oxygen interruption.
• Closed system: can be used multiple days, is a closed loop, has more stable oxygen, and is pricier.
