Sterilization Reusable Medical 72hours Closed Suction System Suction Catheter Suction Tube

Description:

Closed suctioning allows a suction catheter to be inserted into the endotracheal tube through a one-way valve, with no need to disconnect the patient from the ventilator. While suctioning is a necessary procedure, it involves risks for both patients and caregivers.
 

Closed tracheal suction systems which employ multiuse suctioning catheters and let endotracheal suctioning without disconnecting of patient from the ventilator resulting in decreased contamination, maintenance of positive pressure ventilation, and oxygenation.

It is a protected suction tube (catheter) inside a sterile plastic sleeve. This is called a closed suction system or Ballard suction. This catheter stays attached to your child's trach and is changed every week. This lets you suction without taking your child off the vent.

1. Sterilization:
- The system is designed for sterilization, indicating that the components can be sterilized to ensure they are free from microorganisms. This is essential for maintaining aseptic conditions during suction procedures.

2. Reusable:
- The system is designed to be reused, which means that after proper sterilization, the components can be used multiple times. Reusable medical devices often undergo thorough cleaning and sterilization processes between uses.

3. 72-Hour Closed Suction System:
- This suggests that the closed suction system is intended for use over a 72-hour period. Closed suction systems are commonly used in medical settings, especially in intensive care units, to provide a closed and sterile circuit during suctioning procedures.

4. Suction Catheter:
- The system includes a suction catheter, which is a flexible tube used for removing respiratory secretions from the airways. The closed system helps maintain a sterile environment during suctioning.

Closed suction systems, whether reusable or disposable, are crucial for preventing cross-contamination during suction procedures, particularly in patients on mechanical ventilation.
