Reason of use

Airway Suctioning & Secretion Clearance

Used to remove accumulated secretions, mucus, and foreign materials from the trachea, bronchi, nasopharynx, and oropharynx in intubated and non-intubated patients to maintain a clear and patent airway.

ICU & Post-Operative Care

Essential in ICU and post-surgical settings for patients on mechanical ventilation or recovering from anaesthesia, to clear secretions and prevent respiratory complications such as pneumonia and atelectasis.

Neonatal & Paediatric Airway Management

Smaller FR 6 and FR 8 sizes are used for gentle suctioning in neonates and paediatric patients to clear airways without causing trauma to delicate mucosal tissues.
