Metric Catheters with Metric (Straight)
Purpose
Tracheobronchial suctioning of the lower airways
Features
- Atraumatic rounded distal eyes
- Integrated, ergonomic connector
- Frosted surface facilitates introduction through endotracheal tube
- Marks and numbers at each cm starting 5 cm from the distal end
Mully
- Less traumatic compared to other designs
- Higher efficiency at lower vacuum level
- 2 small relieving eyes reduce risk of blockage
- Hardness: shore A 78
- Recommended for all suctioning
Optimal
Same features as Mully - but softer
- Hardness: Shore A 64
Vacutip
- Transparent connector for easy observation of secretions
- Color-coded for easy identification of CH
- No contamination of finger
- Maximum vacuum reduction ensures suctioning only when required
- Decreased removal of residual air
Metric-Marking
- Increased safety for accurate positioning of the suction catheter
- Allows standardization between members of staff
- Highly recommended for neonatal use
Precautions
- Suction catheters are not advanced more than 1 cm beyond the end of the endotracheal tube
