TIK No14 suction catheter, an essential consumable for tracheobronchial suction. The catheter is inserted through the mouth, nose, or a tube applied to the trachea. A prerequisite for performing suction is the patient's inability to expel secretions by coughing. It is made of elastic material that usually does not cause injury to the patient.

The importance of bronchial suctions is critical for adequate ventilation of patients and for the prevention of respiratory infections. The procedure requires a strictly aseptic technique, as hospital-acquired pneumonia is common and dangerous.

Reasons why it should be done:

• Cleaning of the airways
• Prevention of infections due to stagnation of secretions
• Improvement of respiratory function
• Activation of the cough reflex through tracheal irritation
• Cultivation of secretions to detect microbes

For whom:

• Bedridden with labored breathing
• Inability to expel secretions
• Auscultatory sounds - indication of secretion collection
• Feeling of distress of the patient

TIK suction catheter features:

• Sterile, single-use, 50 cm long.
• Suitable for suctioning mucus and secretions from the respiratory system.
• Its surface is crystalline for easy penetration.
• The hardness of the catheter is suitable to prevent kinking.
• High-quality construction from flexible medical-grade PVC.
• Color-coded sizing.
