Goodbye secretions! With the right devices for suction

Suction plays an important role in airway management. It is used to remove secretions from the airways in order to facilitate breathing and avoid complications. Accumulations of secretions in the airways can have various causes, such as infections, chronic respiratory diseases or post-operative ventilation. The accumulation of secretions can impede breathing, reduce the oxygen supply to the body and increase the risk of infection.

Suction pumps are devices that generate the negative pressure required for the suction of secretions. There are different types of suction pumps that vary in performance, size and mobility.

Suction pump accessories include various parts used for suctioning, such as tubes, suction catheters and filters. The accessories must be compatible with the suction pump and meet the requirements of the respective field of application.

Suction catheters are thin, flexible tubes that are inserted into the airways to suction out secretions. There are various types of suction catheters, which differ in size, shape and material. The correct suction catheter must be suitable for the respective application and patient.

Consumables for suctioning include various materials that are used during suctioning, such as disposable cups, suction filters and secretion containers. The consumables must be sterile and comply with hygiene requirements.
