What are Suction Catheters?

Suction catheters are medical devices that are used to remove bodily secretions from the trachea and bronchial region of a person. These products are designed to be soft and atraumatic for maximum patient comfort. One end of the tubing connects to a collection canister and an aspirator and the other end is inserted into the tracheal tube of the person to suck out the secretions. 

Types of Suction Catheters

There are several types of suction catheters and you can buy the type which suits your condition best based on your healthcare provider’s advice. These include closed suction catheters, latex rubber suction catheters, latex free suction catheters and rigid yankauers.

Closed Suction Catheters

A closed suction catheter involves multi-use catheter tubing which is enclosed in a plastic sheath and developed to prevent suction-related infections. The sheet is removed gradually during insertion and the tubing is slid through the packaging straight into the airway. This ensures no contact with the catheter thus minimizing infection risk. This type is also known as inline suction catheter. Closed suction catheters are generally used on those who are on a ventilator and cannot be disconnected from it. They do not require disconnection of the ventilator or oxygen supply from the patient while suctioning.

Yankauers

Yankauers are rigid, shatter-resistant oral-suctioning devices with a suction tip made of firm plastic. It has a large opening surrounded by a bulbous head and is designed to provide minimum trauma during insertion and minimal damage of surrounding tissue. A Yankauer suction catheter’s appropriate use is for mouth suctioning.

Latex Rubber Catheters

Latex rubber catheters are flexible in nature and more appropriate for X-ray use because they are radiopaque.

Size of Suction Catheters

The size of the suction catheter will depend on the tracheostomy tube size. The larger the number, the more its diameter. Generally, a size of 12-18 FR is used for adults, for children the size is usually 8-10 Fr while infants will require 5-8 Fr.
