Material: The catheter is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is a flexible and durable material commonly used in medical devices. It allows for easy insertion and maneuverability during suctioning procedures.
Sterile: The catheter is provided in a sterile form to minimize the risk of infection when used in medical procedures. Sterility is crucial to maintain a clean and safe environment during suctioning.
Silicone Coating: The catheter is coated with silicone, which provides a smooth surface and reduces friction during insertion and removal. The silicone coating helps facilitate the passage of the catheter through the airway or respiratory tract.
Plain Type Connector: The catheter typically features a plain type connector at one end. This connector allows for easy attachment to a suction apparatus or collection canister for efficient removal of fluids.
Suction Function: The catheter is specifically designed for suctioning fluids from the airway or respiratory tract. It helps clear secretions, mucus, or other unwanted substances to maintain airway patency and promote effective breathing.

What are the two types of suction catheters?
Yankauer Suction Catheter: A rigid suction tip used to aspirate secretions from the oropharynx. Oropharyngeal Suction: (OP) requires the use of an airway adjunct (Guedel Airway).
Closed Suction Catheters: Closed suction catheters, also known as in-line suction catheters, are designed to remain connected to the suction apparatus throughout the suctioning process. They consist of a flexible catheter with a control valve or mechanism that allows for suctioning without disconnecting the catheter from the patient's airway.
Closed suction catheters are commonly used in settings such as intensive care units (ICUs) or operating rooms, where continuous suctioning may be required. They help minimize the risk of contamination and maintain a closed system, reducing the exposure of healthcare professionals to potentially infectious materials.
Open Suction Catheters: Open suction catheters, also referred to as traditional or standard suction catheters, are the more commonly recognized type. They consist of a flexible catheter that is disconnected from the suction apparatus and manually inserted into the patient's airway for suctioning. Once suctioning is complete, the catheter is removed, and the process may be repeated as needed.
Open suction catheters are widely used in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home care. They provide a simple and cost-effective method for suctioning secretions and maintaining airway patency.
Both closed and open suction catheters have their advantages and are used in different clinical scenarios based on the patient's condition, healthcare provider preference, and the level of infection control required. The selection of the appropriate suction catheter type depends on factors such as the patient's respiratory needs, infection control protocols, and the healthcare facility's policies.
How long do you suction a patient for?
Do not suction for more than 10 seconds each time. Turn or twist the suction catheter as it is taken out. Remove your thumb from the suction control vent if you feel the catheter pull during suctioning. Wait 20 to 30 seconds between each suction try
