The Polymed Suction Catheter Plain is a medical device designed for the removal of respiratory secretions to maintain a clear airway. It is suitable for patients who have difficulty clearing secretions on their own due to various conditions. Made from non-toxic, medical-grade PVC, this catheter is designed for single use to ensure sterility and prevent cross-contamination. The transparent tube allows for a clear view during the suctioning process.
Medical-Grade Material: The catheter is constructed from non-toxic, kink-resistant medical-grade PVC, which is DEHP-free. Atraumatic Design: It features a soft, rounded distal end with a lateral eye to reduce trauma during insertion and suctioning. Smooth Intubation: The tube has a frozen surface finish, which facilitates smooth insertion. Secure Connection: A universal funnel-shaped connector ensures a secure connection to standard suction equipment. Easy Size Identification: The connector is color-coded for quick and easy identification of the catheter size.

Set the suction pressure to the recommended level, which is typically 80-120 mmHg for adults. 5. Gently insert the catheter into the airway. Apply suction only while withdrawing the catheter in a rotating motion. 6. Each suction pass should be limited to less than 15 seconds. 7. After use, dispose of the single-use catheter according to medical waste protocols.
Always consult a healthcare professional before using this product. This is a single-use device; do not resterilize or reuse. Do not use if the package is opened or damaged. Use the lowest effective suction pressure to minimize the risk of tissue trauma. The patient should be monitored closely during and after the procedure for any adverse reactions. Pre-oxygenation may be advised for patients at risk of oxygen desaturation.
