Disposable Latex-Free Suction Catheter

Disposable Latex-Free Suction Catheter is a single-use medical device designed for aspirating secretions (such as sputum, mucus, and residual fluids) from the respiratory tract of patients with impaired cough reflex or mechanical ventilation. Crafted from medical-grade latex-free materials (typically PVC or thermoplastic elastomer), it features a smooth, atraumatic distal tip with multiple side holes and a graduated length marking. Sterilized and ready for immediate use, it is widely applied in hospitals, clinics, ICUs, and home care settings, ensuring safe and efficient airway clearance for patients of all ages.

The catheter's smooth, burr-free surface and rounded atraumatic distal tip minimize friction and avoid damage to the delicate mucosal lining of the trachea and bronchi during insertion and aspiration. Multiple side holes at the distal end ensure uniform suction force, preventing blockage by thick secretions and improving aspiration efficiency. Clear length graduations (cm) along the catheter body enable clinicians to accurately control the insertion depth, avoiding over-advancement and reducing the risk of airway trauma. It is available in a full range of French sizes to suit different patient groups (infant, pediatric, adult), and the proximal end is compatible with standard suction tubing and medical suction systems for quick connection. Each unit is individually sterilized via EO gas, complying with ISO 13485, CE, and NMPA medical device standards, ensuring clinical safety for latex-allergic patients and general user groups alike.

Product Properties

 

 

1. Latex-Free & Hypoallergenic: Made of medical-grade latex-free materials, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions in latex-sensitive patients and ensuring biocompatibility for all users.
2. Atraumatic Design: Smooth surface and rounded distal tip prevent mucosal irritation, trauma, or bleeding during insertion and aspiration, protecting the delicate airway lining.
3. Efficient Suction Performance: Multiple side holes at the distal end distribute suction force evenly, avoiding blockage by thick secretions and improving the efficiency of airway clearance.
4. Precise Depth Control: Clear length graduations enable accurate positioning, reducing the risk of over-insertion and damage to the trachea or bronchi.
5. Wide Size Range: Full spectrum of French sizes covers infant, pediatric, and adult patients, meeting diverse clinical needs (e.g., neonatal care, adult ICU ventilation).
6. Ready-to-Use & Convenient: Individual sterile packaging eliminates pre-procedure sterilization, enabling quick deployment in emergencies or routine care; compatible with standard suction equipment.

Application

 

 

1. ICU & Hospital Wards: Essential for patients on mechanical ventilation (invasive/non-invasive) to clear respiratory secretions and maintain airway patency.
2. Emergency Care: Critical for aspiration of secretions or foreign bodies in trauma, respiratory arrest, or airway obstruction scenarios.
3. Pediatric & Neonatal Care: Size-adapted latex-free catheters for gentle suction in infants and neonates with delicate airway structures.
4. Home Care: Suitable for patients with chronic respiratory diseases (e.g., COPD, cystic fibrosis) or neuromuscular disorders requiring regular airway secretion management.
5. Operating Rooms: Used during and after surgery to aspirate residual anesthetic gases, blood, or secretions, ensuring a clear airway during anesthesia.

Certifications: Complies with ISO 13485, CE, and NMPA medical device standards. Each production batch undergoes strict quality testing, including: biocompatibility evaluation (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation), latex-free verification (no detectable latex proteins), dimensional accuracy checks (French size, length, hole diameter), surface smoothness inspection, suction performance testing, and sterility validation (EO residual content ≤10 μg/g). A unique batch number is assigned for full production and distribution traceability, and a detailed Instruction for Use (IFU) is included with each package, specifying insertion techniques, size selection, and safety precautions.

1. Packing: Individual sterile paper-plastic composite packaging with peel-open seal; each package is labeled with product name, French size, length, batch number, sterilization date, and expiration date. Bulk transport in sturdy corrugated cartons with anti-crush dividers to prevent catheter kinking or deformation.
2. Storage: Store in a clean, dry, well-ventilated environment (temperature 10℃~40℃, relative humidity ≤80%). Avoid direct sunlight, high heat (above 50℃), high humidity, or contact with corrosive substances. Do not stack heavy objects on packaging, and keep sealed until immediately before use.
3. Handling: For single-patient use only-do not reuse, reprocess, or share to prevent cross-infection. Inspect the package for tears, damage, or expiration before use; discard if sterility is compromised. Select the appropriate French size based on the patient's age, airway size, and secretion viscosity. Avoid excessive force during insertion; do not kink or bend the catheter to maintain unobstructed suction. Dispose of used catheters in accordance with medical waste management regulations.
4. Transportation: Transport in accordance with medical device transportation regulations. Protect from violent collision, compression, moisture, and direct sunlight. Avoid transportation with toxic, harmful, or corrosive substances. Ensure the transportation environment temperature is between -10℃~50℃ to maintain product integrity and sterility.
