Closed Suction Catheter

A Closed Suction Catheter is an in-line suction system that allows airway clearance without disconnecting the ventilator, maintaining continuous PEEP and ventilation during suctioning. The closed design reduces the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia and prevents oxygen desaturation. Essential for intensive care units, operating rooms, and home ventilation, it provides safer, more effective secretion management for intubated patients.
