21in Sterile Straight Suction Catheter W/Control Valve 12Fr

Why Choose 21" Sterile Straight Suction Catheter with Control Valve 12Fr

This catheter is built for airway suctioning procedures requiring a sterile single-use 12Fr straight suction catheter with integrated control valve — typical in respiratory therapy, post-anaesthesia recovery, ICU airway management, and home tracheostomy or chronic airway care under healthcare professional direction. The integrated thumb-control valve sits on the proximal end of the catheter and allows the operator to apply suction selectively by occluding the valve port with their thumb — supporting controlled, intermittent suction during catheter insertion and withdrawal rather than continuous suction throughout the procedure (which can cause mucosal trauma, oxygen desaturation, and atelectasis). The 12Fr French size is a commonly used adult suction calibre. The 21" / 53 cm length provides reach for nasotracheal, oropharyngeal, and endotracheal suctioning procedures. The straight catheter design suits standard suction routines without specialty curved-tip navigation. Sterile single-use packaging supports the sterile-field protocol that airway suctioning requires for infection prevention. Confirm individual sterile packaging and pack quantity on the SKU before publishing.

✔ Quantity: confirm by SKU

Benefits

✔ Integrated thumb-control valve supports controlled, intermittent suction — operator occludes the valve port to apply suction only as needed

✔ Intermittent suction control helps reduce mucosal trauma, oxygen desaturation, and atelectasis associated with continuous suction during insertion and withdrawal

✔ 21" / 53 cm length provides reach for nasotracheal, oropharyngeal, and endotracheal suctioning procedures

✔ 12Fr calibre supports clinically reasonable suction flow at a commonly used adult size

✔ Sterile individual packaging supports the sterile-field protocol required for airway suctioning infection prevention

✔ Straight catheter design suits standard suction routines without specialty curved-tip navigation

✔ Disposable single-use format eliminates cleaning, sterilisation, and cross-contamination concerns

✔ Useful for respiratory therapy, ICU airway management, post-anaesthesia recovery, and tracheostomy care routines

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Nasotracheal, oropharyngeal, and endotracheal suctioning procedures requiring 12Fr catheter calibre

✔ Respiratory therapy and ICU airway management

✔ Post-anaesthesia recovery secretion management

✔ Tracheostomy care routines requiring sterile single-use catheter supply

✔ Home airway suction routines under healthcare professional direction or trained caregiver oversight

✔ Clinical and facility suction supply requiring sterile control-valve catheter inventory

✔ Trained-operator suctioning procedures — control valve technique requires clinical training

Usage/Application

Ideal for airway suctioning procedures when a sterile 12Fr straight suction catheter with control valve is required. Use only as directed by a healthcare professional or trained caregiver. Connect to a compatible suction system, follow sterile handling practices, monitor the user according to care instructions, and dispose of after use.
