Frequently asked questions
Which gauge of suction catheter should be chosen for an adult?
For adults, gauges CH14 to CH18 are generally recommended. The exact choice depends on the diameter of the tracheostomy cannula or endotracheal tube in place, as well as the viscosity of secretions to be suctioned.
What is the purpose of the two lateral eyes on a suction catheter?
The two lateral eyes, combined with the central orifice, allow for more homogeneous suction and reduce the risk of obstruction. This configuration also limits mucosal trauma by distributing the suction force across multiple points.
Is the tracheal suction catheter reusable?
No, this catheter is for single use only. Its individual sterile packaging ensures safe use and prevents any risk of cross-contamination between suctioning procedures.
