Suction Catheter Size 4

The Suction Catheter Size 4 is an ultra-fine, sterile tube intended for suctioning respiratory secretions from the smallest patients, specifically neonates and premature infants. Its extremely small diameter ensures it can navigate narrow airways with minimal resistance and trauma. Manufactured from soft, medical-grade PVC, it is gentle on delicate mucosal tissues. The catheter includes a connector for easy attachment to suction sources and often features a vacuum control port. It is a critical supply for NICUs and delivery rooms to assist newborns in clearing amniotic fluid or mucus immediately after birth.

Description

Designed for the most fragile patients, the Size 4 Suction Catheter (4 Fr) is the smallest standard size available for airway clearance. It is color-coded (usually Red) to allow medical staff to quickly identify the correct size during emergencies.

Key Features:
– Atraumatic Tip: Rounded, open distal end with lateral eyes ensures efficient aspiration while preventing damage to the delicate tracheal lining of neonates.
– Flexibility: The tubing is kink-resistant yet soft enough to conform to the airway anatomy.
– Control: Integrated finger-tip control valve allows for intermittent suctioning, giving the caregiver precise control over the vacuum applied to the lungs to prevent hypoxia and tissue damage.
– Compatibility: Fits standard medical suction units.

Clinical Indication:
Used for oral, nasal, and endotracheal suctioning in premature babies and newborns. It is vital for maintaining airway patency in ventilated infants.

Sterility and Safety:
Supplied in individual sterile peel packs. Do not reuse. Reusing suction catheters can lead to ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and other severe infections. Store in a clean, dry location accessible to resuscitation equipment.
