Suction Catheter with Thumb Control for Easy Airway Care

Introduction

"Suction Catheter with Thumb Control Valve" refers to a device that uses thin plastic tubing to remove saliva, blood, or other fluids from the patient's mouth, trachea, or nose, connected directly to a suction machine, as indicated by medical needs.

The "thumb control valve" is a unique feature that ensures the user (mostly a nurse or doctor) controls the suction pressure hands-on. By thumb pressing and/or releasing, suction is put on and off, respectively, thereby creating safety and accuracy during the procedure. At GST Corporation, we prioritize quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, ensuring our Suction Catheter with Thumb Control Valve meets international standards for performance and hygiene.

What is a Suction Catheter with Thumb Control Valve?

A Suction Catheter with a Thumb Control Valve is a medical device used to extract bodily secretions, such as mucus or saliva, from the upper airway. A suction catheter connects to a suction machine or collection canister.

Use of Suction Catheter

Select an appropriate size of the sterile suction catheter and connect it tightly with a vacuum extractor. Next, clamp the tube end with sterile hemostatic forceps and gently insert it into the patient’s throat through his oral or nasal cavity, then start sputum suction. After the operation, turn off the vacuum extractor, take out the tube, and dispose of it immediately.
