Key Features

Closed Suction System: The system allows for the removal of secretions from the patient's airway without disconnecting them from the ventilator. This helps to maintain PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure) and oxygenation levels, and reduces the risk of infection.
Turbo-Cleaning Action: The design of the catheter system includes a "turbo-cleaning" feature. This action is designed to clean the catheter tip more effectively as it is withdrawn, which helps to reduce the build-up of secretions and the potential for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
T-Piece Design: The T-Piece design integrates the suction system directly into the patient's ventilator circuit.
Catheter Size: The product code 227056 specifically designates a 14 Fr (French) catheter size.
WET PAK: The "WET PAK" designation indicates that the product comes with a sterile saline solution for lavage, which is used to help loosen thick secretions in the airway.

The AirLife Ballard Turbo Closed Suction Catheter System is used in hospital and critical care settings for:

Airway Secretion Removal: It is a tool for suctioning the trachea and bronchi to clear mucus and other secretions from the airways of intubated and mechanically ventilated patients.
Preventing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP): By providing a closed, in-line system and more effective catheter cleaning, it helps to minimize contamination and may reduce the risk of VAP.
Maintaining Oxygenation and PEEP: The closed system prevents a drop in lung pressure and oxygen levels during the suctioning process, which is crucial for patient stability.
